Answer 1

Answer:

1. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. ... As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds.
2. Cross section of a typical hurricane. The main parts of a tropical cyclone are the rainbands, the eye, and the eyewall. Air spirals in toward the center in a counter-clockwise pattern in the northern hemisphere (clockwise in the southern hemisphere), and out the top in the opposite direction.
3. Cyclones that form in every ocean basin across the world are named by the regional specialised meteorological centres (RSMCs) and Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres(TCWCs). There are six RSMCs in the world, including the India Meteorological Department (IMD), and five TCWCs.
4. Deep Depression; Cyclonic Storm; Severe Cyclonic Storm

• Prepare and/or check your cyclone plan and emergency kit
• A plan is vital because when a cyclone happens, there won't be time to think. So everyone in the household needs to know what to do.
• You will have a better chance of surviving if everyone in the family agrees on a plan before cyclone season.
• Make sure you have a battery-powered radio as part of your emergency kit, in case of power failure and mobile networks going down.
• If your home is in a low-lying area, decide where will you and your family will go in case of storm surge.
• Ask your local council if your home is built to cyclone standards.
