    NCERT Solutions Class 7 Science Chapter 8


    Winds | Storms and Climate
    Topics and Sub Topics in Class 7 Science Chapter 8 Winds | Storms and Climate:

    Section Name Topic Name

    8 Winds, Storms, and Cyclones

    8.1 Air exerts pressure

    8.2 High-speed winds are accompanied by reduced air pressure

    8.3 Air Expands on Heating

    8.4 Wind currents are generated due to uneven heating on the earth

    8.5 Thunderstorms and cyclones


    8.6 Destruction Caused by Cyclones

    8.7 Effective safety measures

    8.8 Advanced technology has helped

    Q.1.Fill the missing word in the blank spaces in the following statements:
    (a) Wind is ___________air.
    (b) Winds are generated due to _________ heating on the earth.
    (c) Near the earth’s surface _________ air rises up whereas _________ air comes
    down.

    (d) Air moves from a region _________of pressure to a region _________of pressure.
    Ans.(a) moving (b) uneven
    (c) warm, cooler (d) high, low
    Q.2. Suggest two methods to find out wind direction at a given place.
    Ans. (i) Take a piece of paper in your hand. Allow it to fall from your hand. It will flow
    in the direction in which the wind is blowing.
    (ii) You can also use a wind pane which helps us to know the accurate wind
    direction.

    Q.3.State two experiences that made you think that air exerts pressure.
    Ans. (i) Balloons and balls can be used only when they are inflated with air. When the
    balloon is overfilled with air it bursts due to excessive air pressure.
    (ii) Compressed air is used in the brake system for stopping trains.

    Q.4.You want to buy a house. Would you like to buy a house having windows but no
    ventilators? Explain your answer.
    Ans.No, a house that has no ventilators is not a safe or healthy house to live in. The
    air circulation is not there in such a house. So, it has no fresh air. Because warm air
    rises and goes out through ventilators, fresh air comes in through windows.

    Q.5.Explain why holes are made in hanging banners and hoardings.


    Ans. Air exerts pressure. Due to this pressure, banners and hoarding flutter and tear
    when the wind blows fast. Holes are made in banners and hoardings so that wind
    passes through the holes and they do not become loose and fall.

    Q.6.How will you help your neighbors in case a cyclone approaches your
    village/town?
    Ans. (i) I will make them aware of the cyclone forecast and warning service.
    (ii) Rapid communication of warnings to the government agencies and all the
    important places.
    (iii) Construction of cyclone shelters in cyclone-prone areas.
    (iv) Helping them to shift essential goods, domestic animals, etc. to safer places.

    Q.7.What planning is required in advance to deal with the situation created by a


    cyclone?
    Ans. To deal with a cyclone, it is important to follow the following points :
    (i) carefully listening to the warnings transmitted on T.V. and radio.
    (ii) moving to safer places.
    (iii) keeping an emergency kit ready.
    (iv) store food in waterproof bags.
    (v) not venturing into the sea.
    (vi) keeping all the emergency numbers.

    Q.8. Which one of the following places is unlikely to be affected by a cyclone?


    (i) Chennai (ii) Mangalore
    (iii) Amritsar (iv) Puri
    Ans. (iv) Amritsar

    Q.9.Which of the statements given below is correct?


    (i) In winter the winds flow from the land to the ocean.
    (ii) In summer the winds flow from the land towards the ocean.
    (iii) A cyclone is formed by a very high-pressure system with very high-speed winds
    revolving around it.
    (iv) The coastline of India is not vulnerable to cyclones.
    Ans. (i) In winter the winds flow from the land to the ocean.
