Many trees were uprooted in Vijayanagar district due to strong winds caused by Cyclone Gulab.
What is Deep Depression?
In the warm region of the ocean, the air gets heated by the heat of the season and forms an area of low air pressure. The air warms up and condenses with the moisture above to form clouds. Because of this, the moist air comes down rapidly to fill the empty space. When the wind moves very fast around that area, it rains with thick clouds.
When the wind speed is between 31-50 km/h it is called low depression. Whereas when the speed is between 51-62 km/h, it is called Deep Depression. After this, if the wind speed increases, then the deep depression turns into a storm.
