What is cyclone? Describe the
formation of cyclone?
Answers
Cyclone is a large scale air mass that spirals around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure.This low-pressure area is also referred to as the 'eye' of the storm.
Cyclones develops over the sea and travel about 300 to 500 km a day, sucking heat energy from the ocean waters. A matured cyclone releases energy equivalent to few hydrogen bombs.

A small low pressure system with very high speed winds revolving around it is called cyclone.
The most air over the sea and ocean gets heated by sun rays and rises up creating a low pressure region. This warm air get cool and starts condensing.
During condensation heat is released and air around it gets warm. This warm air rises upwards creating a low pressure region.
This space is filled by cooler air. This cycle of events continue till a very low pressure system with very high speed winds revolving around it is formed. This forms cyclone.
