Assertion: Sudden fall of pressure of at a place indicates storm.
Reason: air flows from higher pressure to lower pressure.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

if assertion is true but reason is false.

D

if both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We know that the pressure of air decreases with hight because of it the air having lower pressure comes downwards near to surface of ocean. This cause air to flow inwards towards towards the centre of storm at higher pressure around to it. Now on account of rotational of earth, this inflow of wind is deflected in counter clockwise, spiral in northern hemisphere.

Assertion: Lowering in vapour pressure is not a colligative property. Reason: Lowering of vapour pressure of a solvent depends on the number of moles of the solute dissolved in given amount of the solvent at a given temperature.

Sudden fall of atmospheric pressure by a large amount indicates "______".

Assertion : Entry of water from soil into xylem takes place through gradient of suction pressure. Reason : Water moves from a place of higher suction pressure to a place of lower suction pressure.

A storm is predicted if atmosphere pressure
