The Cyclone
The Cyclone is a powerful weather phenomenon characterized by a rotating column of air that forms over warm ocean waters. It typically features low atmospheric pressure at its center, leading to strong winds and heavy rainfall. Cyclones can vary in intensity and are classified into different categories based on their wind speeds.
These storms can cause significant damage to coastal areas, including flooding and destruction of infrastructure. Cyclones are known by different names in various regions; for example, they are called hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the Northwest Pacific. Understanding cyclones is crucial for disaster preparedness and response.
