Which one of the following places is unlikely to be affected by a cyclone?
$(i)$. Chennai
$(ii)$. Mangaluru (Mangalore)
$(iii)$. Amritsar
$(iv)$. Puri
The correct answer is $(iii)$. Amritsar
Explanation:
Given places are: $(i)$. Chennai, $(ii)$. Mangaluru $(Mangalore)$, $(iii)$. Amritsar, $(iv)$. Puri
Cyclones affect only coastal areas. Coastal areas are those which are located along the seashore.
There are nine coastal states in India as follows-
Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal.
The following places are likely to be affected by a cyclone:
- Chennai is a coastal city in the state of Tamil Nadu and is situated on the coromandel coast of the Bay of Bengal.
- Mangaluru $(Mangalore)$ is a coastal city in Karnataka located between the Arabian sea and the Western Ghats.
- Puri is a coastal city in Odisha situated on the Bay of Bengal.
Conclusion:
Among the given places, only Amritsar is located far away from the sea. So, Amritsar is not a coastal area. Therefore, Amritsar is unlikely to be affected by a cyclone.
So, option $(iii)$ is correct.
