PART -C (1x15=15 Marks)
16. a) The Super Cyclonic Storm Amphan was a powerful and deadly tropical cyclone
that caused widespread damage in East India and Bangladesh in May 2020.
It was the most powerful tropical cyclone to strike the Ganges Delta and
the first super cyclonic storm tooccur in the Bay of Bengal since the Odisha
cyclone of 1999.On 18 May,at approximately 12: 00UTC, Amphan reached its
peak intensity with 3-minute sustained wind speeds of 240 km/h (150 mph).
1-minute sustained wind speeds of 260km/h (160 mph), and a minimum central
barometric pressure of 925 mbar. On 20 May, between 10:00 and 11:00UTOC.
the cyclone made landfallin West Bengal. At the time, Amphan's l-minute
sustained winds to be 155 km/h (100 mph). Amphan rapidly weakened once
inland, and it became a remnant low by 12:00 UTC on 21 May 2020.Assume
if similar situation arise the State of Tamil Nadu, how will you prepared for
thescenario ? Explain based on your class room experience.
(OR)
b) How space technology useful in various phases of disaster mitigation and
management ? Explain with suitable exampls.
