Factors responsible for increased cyclonic activity in Arabian sea
1Rising global temperatures due to climate change → more evaporation in Arabian Sea causing development of low pressure area
2Reduced influx of fresh river water via Narmada & Tapi due to vagaries of monsoon and overexploitation by humans.
3Changing global patterns of ocean currents @ AMOC.
4Occasional phenomenous like Indian Ocean Dipole, ENSO etc.
5Increased GHS emissions causing more heating of Asian continent (Two times faster than world-1Mo)
6Flow of hot uncreated water from industries along Arabian coast
