    Which port is often hit by cyclones in October and November and shipping becomes difficult in this season?

    A)  Kandia                        

    B)  Marmagoa

    C)  Kochi                          

    D)  Chennai

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Chennai is the oldest artificial harbor on the east coast of India. It does not possess a natural harbor and an artificial harbur has been created in an area of 80 hectares near the coast. Chennai is often hit by cyclones in October and November and shipping becomes difficult during these months. It is ill-suited for large ships because of the lesser depth of water near the coast.
