Why tropical cyclones affect mainly the coastal areas of India but not the interior parts? | Pressure gradient force is minimal in the coastal areas compared to the interiors. | High temperature across the coastal areas than interiors. | Greater Coriolis force on the coastal land compared to that of interior. | Pressure gradient force is minimal in the coastal areas compared to the interiors. |
The energy of the tropical cyclone comes from the latent heat released by the warm moist air. Hence, with the increase in distance from the sea, the force of the cyclone decreases. So, the coastal areas are often struck by severe cyclonic storms. Hence, (d) is the correct answer.
