Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 points‘Bomb cyclones’ seen in news recently are triggered mostly when
Correct
a) Atmospheric pressure drops rapidly
Storms can form when a mass of low-pressure air meets a high-pressure mass. The air flows from high pressure to low, creating winds. What defines a bomb cyclone is how rapidly the pressure drops in the low-pressure mass — by at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. This quickly increases the pressure difference, or gradient, between the two air masses, making the winds stronger. This process of rapid intensification has a name: bombogenesis.
Atleast 24 persons were killed after a bomb cyclone struck United States of America.
