Which one of the following characteristics is not associated with the tropical cyclones?
A. Before the cyclone arrives the air becomes very still and temperature and humidity are high
B. As the front of the vertex arrives, gusty winds develop and thick clouds appear
C. As the cold front passes, the weather changes very rapidly
D. Calm conditions return when the eye of the cyclone arrives
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Calm conditions return when the eye of the cyclone arrives is not associated with the tropical cyclones. It is actually the calmest section of any hurricane. The coriolis force deflects the wind slightly away from the center, causing the wind to rotate around the center of the hurricane (the eye wall), leaving the exact center (the eye) calm.Related Questions on Atmosphere
