Question

An air pressure contour line joins locations in a region having the same atmospheric pressure .The following is an air contour plot of a geographical region . Contour lines are shown at 0.05 bar intervals in this plot.

If the possibility of a thunderstorm is given by how fast air pressure rises or drops over a region, which of the following regions is most likely to have a thunderstorm? 

(A) P 

(B) Q 

(C) R 

(D) S

Answer 1

Correct option is (C) R 

In general thunder storms are occurred in a region where suddenly air pressure changes (i.e.,) sudden rise (or) sudden fall of air pressure. From the given contour map in ‘R’ region only more changes in air pressure. So, the possibility of a thunder storms in this region.
