Question
Cyclonic rainfall
✓

Answer

  • Cyclone is the specific air formation when the pressure at an area is less than the surrounding regions.
  • Air from the surrounding region comes toward the center of the cyclone and starts moving upwards.
  • As it rises, the temperature of the air reduces, condensation occurs and rainfall takes place.
  • It rains in areas over which the cyclone passes. Cyclonic rainfall occurs more in temperate zones and its area is also quite extensive.
  • Comparatively, cyclonic rainfall occurring in tropical regions is limited in extent and is stormy in nature.
