6-10. Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
Strong monsoons in the Indian Ocean can induce easterly winds that push Atlantic Ocean hurricanes westward, increasing the likelihood they will make landfall in the Americas, according to a study. The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, found that in years where summer rainstorms in India are stronger, Atlantic hurricanes move further westward towards land. In years where the rains are not as strong, hurricanes tend to curve northward earlier and fizzle out in the North Atlantic Ocean. The newly-discovered relationship could help scientists better predict the path of oncoming hurricanes, especially in late summer months like September, when Atlantic hurricane activity peaks, according to researchers. It is amazing how rainfall near India can drive important changes to Atlantic hurricanes half a world away, stated a report from the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. This research is the first to draw the connection between Atlantic hurricanes and the Indian monsoon.
The Indian monsoon season has typically waned by September, but climate projections suggest that under future warming conditions, monsoon precipitation will increase, and the monsoon season could end later in the year, researchers said. As the climate continues to warm, the monsoon could have an increasing influence on the paths of Atlantic hurricanes, according to the study. Forecasting for the landfall of hurricanes on seasonal timescales is something we just haven’t typically done,” said Benjamin Kirtman, a professor at the University of Miami. “The thing that is profoundly exciting about this work is its potential to improve seasonal forecasting and predict land-falling hurricanes. Previous research has attributed changes in hurricane steering to El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), periodic fluctuation in sea surface temperature and air pressure in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Scientists have traditionally relied on the La Nina cool phase of ENSO to make predictions about how strong a particular Atlantic hurricane season will be, but have trouble forecasting the paths of individual hurricanes. In seasonal forecasting of hurricanes, our biggest predictor of what’s going to happen has typically been La Nina. Unfortunately, seasonal forecasting based on La Nina has not been able to tell us much about landfall. In the new study, Kelly and his colleagues wanted to find out how the Indian monsoon, a known source of climate variability, affected hurricane tracks since the Indian monsoon had not yet been investigated in the context of Atlantic hurricanes. They conducted simulations of hurricane tracks with a model that incorporates observed variations of monsoon intensity and found that in response to strong monsoons, hurricanes shifted significantly westward. Strong monsoons influence hurricane steering by augmenting the effects of the North Atlantic subtropical high, a center of high atmospheric pressure in the Atlantic Ocean. When the subtropical high increases, stronger winds come from the east and push hurricanes westward. According to Kelly, La Nina and the Indian monsoon are correlated, but the strength of the monsoon influences the steering of hurricanes independently of La Nina fluctuations, which are responsible for changes in hurricane frequency. La Nina fluctuations may result in more Atlantic hurricanes, but strong Indian monsoons steer them further westward, making it more likely they will make landfall in the Americas, researchers said.
6.According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?
01. As per the predictions, the monsoon precipitation may decline which led to a prior end of monsoon.
02. The paths of Atlantic hurricanes could be swayed by the increasing monsoon.
03. When the subtropical high increases, stronger winds come from the east and push hurricanes westward.
04. A considerable amount of information has been forecasted about the landfall.
05. All are true.
7.According to the passage, mention the leverage of the sturdy monsoons in the Indian Ocean-
A. The Atlantic Ocean hurricanes that are directed towards the west would alleviate landfalls in the Americas.
B. The winds which blow from the east could be prompted by the sturdy monsoon.
C. The hurricanes usually tend to be more vigorous in pre-winter months.
01. Only (A)
02. Only (B)
03. Only (B) and (C)
04. Only (A) and (B)
05. All (A), (B) and (C)
8.What is inferred from the lines ‘the newly-discovered relationship could help scientists better predict the path of oncoming hurricanes’?
01. Until now, the scientists were inept to foretell the arrival of hurricanes in the Americas.
02. When the rains are not strong, the hurricanes tend to move westward.
03. It wouldn’t be a hard nut to crack now when it would come to forecasting the coming of hurricanes.
04. Both (2) and (3).
05. A connection has been drawn between Atlantic hurricanes and the Indian monsoon.

01. mar
02. amplify
03. aggrandize
