Why polar vortex is called a low pressure zone? 

An increase in temperature contributes to the lowering of the pressure in the stratosphere. Force of vortex pushes the air counterclockwise towards the pole.

@Casablanca Cold Air - - heavy dense - - high pressure 
Hot air - - light - - - low pressure 

So as in polar vertex  temp increase.. It becomes low pressurised .. Eventually

So pole are cold.. So the pressure will be low  


I think you have mixed both of these.. .. Cold air is associated with high pressure and hot air with low pressure..

Thanks. Also when we talk about polar vortex - it is stratospheric phenomena. NOt the ground one. Pole itself has HP. Polar vortex is LP counterclockwise movement of wind over and above the poles? 

Am i understanding it right?

I also think you have mixed up. 

Cold air---Particles close----dense--- HP

Warm air--- particles expand--- less dense--- LP

so states can only recommend naa there is as such no role of states in any of the list correct ?? 

And also another doubt is that sc/st/obc list varies across states or there is a uniformity . please answer these two doubts . Thanxs !!

Very difficult. The Commission started releasing the Answer keys only in the past decade.

They can speak in any language if I am not wrong.. But it needs permission from The speaker of the house.. 
ex- An MP from RAjasthan may want to use rajasthani, however it is not an 8th schedule language yet.  I don't think it is necessary for the language to be an 8th schedule language..

If temperature is high then Relative humidity is low. 

Can anyone please explain the relation between RH and temp. In simpler terms?  Thanks.
