Cyclones are intense low-pressure systems characterized by strong winds and often heavy rainfall. They are classified into two major types: temperate cyclones and tropical cyclones.
Tropical Cyclones
Formation: Develop over warm tropical or subtropical oceans.
Characteristics: Intense low-pressure systems with strong winds, heavy rainfall, and often a well-defined eye.
Fuel Source: Derive energy from the warm ocean surface.
Temperate Cyclones
Formation: Form at the boundary between warm and cold air masses.
Characteristics: Larger and less intense than tropical cyclones, often associated with a wide range of weather phenomena, including rain, snow, and strong winds.
Impact: Can bring significant impacts, including heavy snowfall, blizzards, and coastal flooding.
Impacts of Cyclones
Strong Winds: Can cause widespread damage to property and infrastructure.
Heavy Rainfall: Can lead to flooding and landslides.
Storm Surge: The rise in sea level caused by strong winds can inundate coastal areas.
Human Impact: Can cause significant loss of life and displacement of populations.
