What is cyclone?what are the factors for the development of cyclone |

Answer» A cyclone is defined as a system of winds rotating inwards to an area of low barometric pressure, with an anticlockwise (northern hemisphere) or clockwise (southern hemisphere) circulation. A cyclone needs a disturbance to begin, such as a storm system or an area of the sea with a surface temperature above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Like all air movements, the storm will pass from an area of high atmospheric pressure to a low pressure area. High levels of humidity will help weaken a cyclone as its dry air gets caught up in the resistance caused by the humidity. |
