write the types of cyclone??
Answers
Answer
Cyclones can be the most intense storms on Earth. A cyclone is a system of winds rotating counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere around a low pressure center. The swirling air rises and cools, creating clouds and precipitation.
There are two types of cyclones: middle latitude (mid-latitude) cyclones and tropical cyclones. Mid-latitude cyclones are the main cause of winter storms in the middle latitudes. Tropical cyclones are also known as hurricanes.
An anticyclone is the opposite of a cyclone. An anticyclone’s winds rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere around a center of high pressure. Air comes in from above and sinks to the ground. High pressure centers generally have fair weather.
Explanation:
1. Tropical Cyclone: It occurs over tropical ocean regions. it is two types- Hurricanes and typhoons. Hurricanes are found in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, whereas typhoons are found in the Northwest Pacific. On the basis of intensity and wind speed, this cyclone is classified into five categories- 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Category 5 has a wind speed of 155 mph or above.
2. Polar Cyclone: It occurs over Polar Regions of Greenland, Siberia and Antarctica. It is strong during the winter season.
3. Mesocyclone: It is a vortex of air within a convective storm. It is the air that rises and rotates around a vertical axis, usually in the same direction as low-pressure systems in a given hemisphere. These types of cyclones are accompanied by the rotating air within the thunderstorm.
