15.
Which of the statements given below is correct?
In winter, the winds blow from the land to the ocean.
In summer, the winds blow from the land towards the ocean.
A cyclone is formed at a very high pressure system with very high speed winds revolving around it.
The coastline of India is not vulnerable to cyclones.
16.
Monsoon winds are helpful. Do you agree?
17.
In the wind flow pattern, it can be found that the wind shown is not in the exact North-South direction. Explain why.
18.
Name some cyclones that occurred in the past.
19.
Enlist the other names of cyclone.
20.
Briefly describe the effect of heat on air pressure.
21.
The phenomenon of cloud formation, rain, storm and cyclone are inter linked. Do you agree? If yes, give a flow chart that explain this relation.
22.
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.

23.
The coast line of India is not vulnerable to cyclones.
24.
Uneven heating of land and water in winter (North-West and colder land) brings little rain in winter.
25.
Monsoon winds do not carry water with them.
26.
Cyclone develops in the polar region.
27.
The layer of air surrounding the earth is called atmosphere.
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.
As during the afternoon, the land becomes hot which ultimately creates hot air above it and we know that hot air rises up and there is low pressure created. Thus, winds from sea start blowing towards the land and the clothes will be blown towards the house because sea breeze blowing towards the land.
3.
Pressure difference is created in the nature by the heat of the sun. When it falls on the earth surface, the surface of the earth gets heated and air above it also gets warm and becomes light weight and moves upward. Thus, the pressure difference is created.
4.
These are produced by the dark clouds which form at fairly low altitude in the atmosphere.
5.
Two experiences that made us think that air exerts pressure are
(i) Cycling against the direction of the wind, it is difficult to ride. It shows that the air exerts pressure.
(ii) While rowing a sailboat in the direction of the wind, it is always easier to row and while rowing a sailboat against the direction of the wind, it is very difficult to row. It also shows that the air exerts pressure.

In winter, the winds blow from the land to the ocean.
16.
The monsoon winds carry water and it rains. Clouds bring rain and give us happiness. Farmers in our country depend mainly on rains for their harvests. So, monsoon winds are helpful.
17.
It is because the winds would have blown in the North-South direction either from North to South or from South to North. A change in direction is however caused by the rotation of the earth.
18.
Hugo, Katrina, Rita, Hud-Hud and Phailin are the various types of cyclones that occurred in the past.
19.
Hurricane and typhoon are the other names of cyclone.
20.
The heat causes air to expand and occupies more space. It becomes lighter. That's why, warm air is lighter than the cold air.
21.
Yes, the following flow chart explains the phenomenon leading to the formation of cloud, rain, storm and cyclone.

22.
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.
