at least four differences between cyclones and anticyclones
Answers
Explanation:
Cyclones
(i) It is an area of low pressure surrounded by high pressure.
(ii) Winds converge at the eye (central low pressure) of the cyclone, wind moves in a spiral motion.
(iii) Stormy conditions prevail.
(iv) Winds blow in an anti-clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere and vice-versa in the Southern hemisphere.
Anticyclones
(i) It is an area of high pressure surrounded by low pressure.
(ii) Winds diverge from the central high pressure to the surrounding low pressure.
(iii) Light cool winds blow.
(iv) Winds blow in a clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere and vice-versa in the Southern hemisphere.
Answer:
Cyclones and anticyclones are both wind systems indicating distinctive weather patterns, but they have opposite characteristics. A major difference is that a cyclone is a low pressure system and an anticyclone is a high pressure system.
