What is the role of a low-pressure centre in cyclonic rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It helps surrounding moist air converge and rise

Correct answer: B. A low-pressure centre has relatively lower pressure than its surroundings. Near the surface, winds generally move toward the low-pressure area, so air converges. The converging moist air is forced upward, either by the pressure pattern itself or by associated fronts and circulation. As it rises, it expands and cools; when it reaches saturation, water vapour condenses on condensation nuclei and clouds develop. Continued lifting and particle growth can produce cyclonic rainfall. B is correct because convergence and uplift supply the basic mechanism. A describes the opposite tendency associated with surface divergence around high pressure. C is wrong because low pressure does not remove condensation nuclei. D is meaningless: clouds do not turn into land. Memory cue: low pressure draws air together and makes it rise; rising moist air favours cloud and rain.
