Interview of tropical cyclone ​

Geography

A tropical cyclone (TC) is a rotational low-pressure system in tropics when the central pressure falls by 5 to 6 hPa from the surrounding and maximum sustained wind speed reaches 34 knots (about 62 kmph). It is a vast violent whirl of 150 to 800 km, spiraling around a centre and progressing along the surface of the sea at a rate of 300 to 500 km a day.
The word cyclone has been derived from Greek word ‘cyclos’ which means ‘coiling of a snake’. The word cyclone was coined by Heary Piddington who worked as a Rapporteur in Kolkata during British rule. The terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are region specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". Tropical cyclones are called “Hurricanes” over the Atlantic Ocean and “Typhoons” over the Pacific Ocean. The reason is that the earth's rotation sets up an apparent force (called the Coriolis force) that pulls the winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere (and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere). So, when a low pressure starts to form over north of the equator, the surface winds will flow inward trying to fill in the low and will be deflected to the right and a counter-clockwise rotation will be initiated. The opposite (a deflection to the left and a clockwise rotation) will occur south of the equator.
This Coriolis force is too tiny to effect rotation in, for example, water that is going down the drains of sinks and toilets. The rotation in those will be determined by the geometry of the container and the original motion of the water. Thus, one can find both clockwise and counter-clockwise flowing drains no matter what hemisphere you are located. If you don't believe this, test it out for yourself.

What was the most difficult obstacle to overcome in the creation of an autonomous state after Indian independence was achieved?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

D. Indian princes' inability to decide on a format of government

Explanation:

The most difficult obstacle to overcome in the creation of an autonomous state after Indian independence was achieved is "Indian princes' inability to decide on a format of government."

This is evident in the case of the likes of Jammu and Kashmir, Hyderabad State, Junagarh, and Kalat who all had difficulties in accession of their state or territory to the other bigger British Raj territory who has gained independence.

This is because they were originally using a monarchy style of governance before independence and find it hard to determine a format of government to use after independence

If we have apps for maps, goggle earth, gis, why do we need to study geography?
Liula [17]
Studying geography helps us to have an awareness of a place. All places and spaces have a history behind them, shaped by humans, earth, and climate. Studying geography gives a meaning and awareness to places and spaces. It also helps students with spatial awareness on the globe. That’s why you should study geography.
