Powerful Tropical Cyclones: Winds, Pressure, and Heat
Tropical cyclones are intense low-pressure areas confined to the area lying between 30°N and 30° S latitudes, in the atmosphere around which high-velocity winds blow. Horizontally, it extends up to 500-1,000 km and vertically from the surface to 12-14 km.
It is energised by the release of latent heat on account of the condensation of moisture that the wind gathers after moving over the oceans and seas.
POINTS TO PONDER Indian Coasts are frequently hit by Tropical Cyclones causing large scale destruction. However, the frequency as well as the intensity of the Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal are much higher than those in the Arabian sea. What do you think might be the reasons behind this? Recently an increasing trend has been noticed in the Arabian sea. Find out the reasons for such a change. |
