Discuss briefly how a cyclone is formed.
Answers
Answer:
Tropical cyclones form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. To form a cyclone, warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. As this air moves up and away from the ocean surface, it leaves is less air near the surface.
Answer:
Cyclones or Hurricanes develop over the warm moist waters of the oceans near the equator.
Explanation:
The water heats up the atmosphere above it. Warm air rises and cooler air from the surroundings rushes in to take place of the warm air. This results in a number of small thunderstorms over the ocean. These small storms merge into one complex storm. If a storm stays over water, it will continue to grow. Due to the rotation of the Earth, these winds start spinning. Wind speeds at this time are less than 60 km per hour. If the wind speed climbs above 64 km per hour it is called a tropical storm. As a cyclone forms, the pressure falls at the center of the storm and this is called eye of the storm. It could be 16 to 32 km across.
