Question
Explain about Anticyclone.
✓

Answer

  • Anticyclone has the opposite symptoms.
  • Anticyclone has a heavier air pressure in the center and a lighter pressure around it.
  • Thus in Anticyclone the wind takes a circular motion from the heavy pressure in the middle and spreads to large areas with light pressure outside.
  • These winds do not blow loudly as they go from the inside out.
  • So they are not particularly naughty.
  • In the Northern Hemisphere the rotational speed of the cyclonic winds is clockwise and in the Southern Hemisphere it is counterclockwise.
  • In a cyclone the air descends from above.
  • So they don’t bring rain.
  • Cyclones cause severe damage to life and property.
  • While per cyclone does not cause damage as it is not stormy.
