A cyclone is a swirling atmospheric disturbance that rotates the same direction as the Earth rotates. Main effects of cyclones include the strong winds and heavy rain the storms bring. Other effects of these dangerous storms include flooding and storm surges.

Assuming you mean the weather formation, the effects can be as little as nothing (just as tornadoes may never touch down and do no damage) but they can also cause massive destruction.

A hurricane is another name for a tropical cyclone (although in other places a cyclone is another name for a hurricane), so most people are aware of the devastation Hurricane Katrina caused. Massive flooding and houses destroyed, all that good stuff.

What is the meaning of the sentence The coastline of India is vulnerable to cyclones?

The meaning of the sentence, The coastline of India is vulnerable to cyclones, can be understood by breaking down the parts. Look for Who, What, Where, and Why or How come? The Who in this case is coastline ... The What is "is vulnerable"... The Where is "of India" The Why or How Come is "to cyclones". So the coast, the land nearest the water, is open and risks damage, because of the effects of cyclones or tornadoes. Coastlines are vulnerable because they are flatter, have no natural wind barriers and sand dunes erode easily, and a tornado can do great damage.
