Correct option is C
Cumulative atmospheric disasters are those that develop gradually over time due to prolonged atmospheric conditions. Based on this definition:
Tornado (A) – Caused by severe thunderstorms, unstable atmospheric conditions, and wind patterns.
Flood (B) – Develops due to excessive rainfall, poor drainage, and rising river levels over time.
Heat Wave (D) – Occurs due to extended periods of high temperatures and atmospheric pressure.
Flood (B) – Develops due to excessive rainfall, poor drainage, and rising river levels over time.
Heat Wave (D) – Occurs due to extended periods of high temperatures and atmospheric pressure.
Information Booster:
- Cumulative atmospheric disasters are slow-developing but widespread.
- Tornadoes, floods, and heat waves are atmospheric in origin.
- Tsunamis are caused by seismic activity, not atmospheric changes.
- Landslides result from terrain instability, often triggered by rain.
- Climate change has intensified atmospheric disasters globally.
- Disaster management strategies focus on early warning systems, mitigation, and preparedness.
Additional Knowledge:
Tsunami (C) is NOT an atmospheric disaster – It is caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Landslides (E) are geological disasters – Though they may be triggered by rainfall, they are primarily terrain-related.
