Important Topics to Study from the Chapter "Winds, Storms and Cyclones":
1. Air Exerts Pressure:
– Summary: Air exerts pressure, as shown through activities involving heating and the effects on a tin can or plastic bottle.
2. High Speed Winds are Accompanied by Reduced Air Pressure:
– Summary: Increased wind speed is associated with reduced air pressure, demonstrated through activities like blowing into bottles and balloons.
3. Air Expands on Heating:
– Summary: Heating causes air to expand, as demonstrated by activities involving a boiling tube with a balloon and the concept of warm air rising.
These topics cover fundamental aspects of winds, storms, and cyclones, including the pressure of air, the relationship between wind speed and air pressure, and the expansion of air when heated.
What is the moving air called?
The moving air is called the wind.
Can you explain why the shape of a can (or bottle) gets distorted when water is poured over it?
When water is poured over the can, some steam in the can condenses into water, reducing the amount of air inside. The pressure of air inside the can decreases, causing the can to get compressed.
Why is it difficult to force a paper ball into a bottle when blowing on it?
It is difficult to force the paper ball into the bottle because the increased wind speed decreases the air pressure near the mouth of the bottle, while the air pressure inside the bottle is higher, causing the air inside to push the ball out.
What happens when high-speed winds blow over the roofs of buildings and the roofs are weak?
If high-speed winds blow over weak roofs, they could be lifted and blown away.
What does the observation from Activity 8.6 using paper bags and a candle indicate about warm air?
The disturbance of the balance of the paper bags in Activity 8.6 suggests that warm air rises up, indicating that warm air is lighter than cold air.
