The picture in figure shows tree line along the sea coast on an island near the equator. As shown, the tree tops are permanently bent in one direction. Are the trees bend towards the sea or away from it? Explain.

1.
High speed winds and air pressure difference can cause cyclones.They are formed when water vapour changes back to liquid by the release of heat. This heat warms air around and it rises to move up and more air rushes to the vacant place. Thus, a cycle is formed which have low pressure and very high speed of air.
2.
These are produced by the dark clouds which form at fairly low altitude in the atmosphere.
3.
The swift movement of the falling water along with the rising warm air producing sound, lightning, heavy rain and strong wind is called thunderstorm.
4.

Holes are made in hanging banners and hoardings to allow air to pass through them as a result of which there will be less pressure of air on the banners or hoardings. Unless it is done, these may be uprooted or distorted due to the pressure of the air.
7.
Two methods to find out wind direction at a given place are
(i) An instrument called anemometer can be used to find the direction and speed of the wind.

B's exhaust fan will expel the hot air more effectively because hot air rises up and her fan is at greater height than A's.
16.
The heat causes air to expand and occupies more space. It becomes lighter. That's why, warm air is lighter than the cold air.
17.
An Indian ocean is mainly responsible to bring rain bearing monsoon winds to Kerala coast in June every year.
18.
Wind currents are generated due to uneven heating on the earth. It may be between equator and pole and between land and water.

In the given figure, the tree line along the sea coast on an island near the equator shows that tree tops are permanently bent in one direction. The reason behind this movement of tree is that during the day time the wind blows from sea to land because land gets warmer more quickly than sea.
This makes the air of land, warm and lighter which is raised up in the sky. Therefore, the top of the bent trees shows the moving direction of wind from sea to land.
