WHAT IS A CYCLONE?
⇒A Cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around strong centers of low pressure.
HOW IS A CYCLONE FORMED?
☠️Water vapors are formed when water is heated.
☠️This heat is released to atmosphere when water vapors convert to water during rains.
☠️The heat released, warms the air around and makes it to move up. This also results in decreased air pressure.
☠️Hence, cooler air from surrounding rushes to take the warm air’s place.
☠️This repeats till a low pressure system with surrounding high speed winds is created. This is called a Cyclone.
☠️Cyclone depends on wind speed, direction, temperature and humidity.
