Statement-I is correct
Storm Éowyn qualifies as a bomb cyclone due to its rapid intensification. A significant drop in central air pressure within 24 hours, exceeding 24 millibars, is the defining characteristic of this type of powerful storm.
Statement-II is correct
Bombogenesis describes the rapid intensification of a mid-latitude cyclone. This process involves a substantial decrease in atmospheric pressure over a 24-hour period, often driven by the interaction of contrasting air masses.
Therefore, Both Statement -I and Statement - II are correct, and Statement -II is the correct explanation of Statement -I.
