Cyclones are wind storms accompanied with heavy rainfall at low-pressure areas. They are caused due to a continuous process of rising of hot air over the ocean surface. This vacant space is then occupied by the cool air around, which further heats up and rises.

Answer:

Cyclone is defined as the mass of air that rotates around the centre of low pressure on a large scale. Cyclone is characterized by inward spiralling winds, rotating clockwise (Southern Hemisphere) or anticlockwise (Northern Hemisphere).

                                           

                                            effects

a tropical cyclone and the expected damage not only depend upon wind speed but also on other factors including moving speed, duration of strong wind and accumulated rainfall during and after landfall, sudden change of moving direction and intensity, the structure like size and intensity of the tropical cyclone and also on the human response to tropical cyclone disasters.

In several ways directly or indirectly tropical cyclones affect health:

- It Increases the cases of drowning and other physical trauma.

- It also increases the danger of water and vector-borne infectious diseases.

- Increases psychological state effects that also related to emergency situations.

- Disrupt health systems, facilities and services. It also left communities without access to health care once they are needed most.

- Damages basic infrastructure including food and water supplies and safe shelter.

It is also said that the impact of tropical cyclone also depends upon the number of individuals living in low-lying coastal areas within the storm's direct path, the built environment like the design of the building and also on the sufficient time for warning and evacuation.

The risk of drowning and water or vector-borne diseases increases when tropical cyclones cause floods and sea surges. Flood water may contain sewage and chemicals, hide sharp objects that are made from metals or glass and electrical lines or host dangerous snakes or reptiles that may result into injuries, electrocution, bites and can also cause diseases. According to WHO, around 726 million people were affected due to storms worldwide between 1998-2017.
