A tropical cyclone is a?

Detailed Solution: Question 1

D. Zone of low pressure with anticlockwise winds in the Northern Hemisphere.

Tropical cyclones are intense low-pressure systems with closely spaced isobars and strong circular winds around a central low (the eye in mature systems).

The sense of rotation is produced by the Coriolis force: winds circulate anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

Typical organised tropical cyclones have scales of order 100-200 km (storm core) though the overall system can be larger; the steep pressure gradient shown by close isobars gives rise to high wind speeds.

Hence, option D is correct.
