Consider the following statements regarding extratropical cyclones: I. They usually develop in the mid and high latitudes. II. They affect a much larger area as compared to tropical cyclone. III. They move from east to west. Which of the statements given above are correct?
A. I and II only
Extratropical cyclones develop in the mid and high latitudes, beyond the tropics. Hence, statement I is correct. They have a clear frontal system and cover a much larger area compared to tropical cyclones. Hence, statement II is correct. Extratropical cyclones move from west to east under the influence of westerly winds, whereas tropical cyclones generally move from east to west. Hence, statement III is incorrect. Therefore, only statements I and II are correct. Answer: I and II only
