A cyclone is a large storm that happens over warm oceans. This means that they form in places either side of the equator.
Cyclones tend to have heavy rain, strong winds, big waves, and a lot of flooding. Cyclones are called hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, typhoons in Southeast Asia, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific around Australia. |
How exactly do cyclones form?
The start of a cyclone begins with the
process of warm air rising and cool air coming to replace it.This cool air also turns into warm air and begins to rise again. The cycle will continue until large storm clouds form in the sky.
