    3. Paths followed by cyclones
    4. Paths followed by thunderstorms

    Option: C

  3. What are thermal cyclones?

    Options:
    1. Cyclones formed due to development of low pressure centers on continents in winter in temperate regions
    2. Cyclones formed due to development of high pressure centers on continents in summer in tropical regions
    3. Cyclones formed due to development of low pressure centers on continents in summer in temperate regions
    4. Cyclones formed due to development of high pressure centers on continents in winter in tropical regions

    Option: C

  4. What is translatory circulation?

    Options:
    1. Movement of air in a vertical manner within a localized area
    2. Movement of air in a horizontal manner from one place to another place in the same direction
    3. Movement of air in a circular manner around a high-pressure centre
    4. Movement of air in a circular manner around a low-pressure centre

    Option: B

  5. What is a warm front occlusion?

    Options:
    1. When the advancing air ahead of the warm front is warmer than the air behind the cold front, causing the warm front to overtake the cold front
    2. When the advancing air ahead of the warm front is colder than the air behind the cold front, causing the cold front to overtake the warm front
    3. When the air behind the cold front is warmer than the advancing air ahead of the warm front, causing the cold air to overtake the warm front and advancing air
    4. When the air behind the cold front is colder than the advancing air ahead of the warm front, causing the warm front to overtake the cold front and advancing air

    Option: C

  6. What is a wave cyclone?

    Options:
    1. A cyclone formed due to development of low-pressure centres on continents in summer in temperate regions
    2. A cyclone formed due to development of high-pressure centres on continents in winter in tropical regions
    3. A cyclone formed along the wavy polar fronts
    4. A cyclone formed along the straight polar fronts

    Option: C
