No. A monsoon is a seasonal pattern in precipitation, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. The winter monsoon brings dry conditions as wind blows off the land while the summer monsoon brings heavy rain as the wind blows off the warm ocean. Cyclones can sometimes form with the storms of the summer monsoon.

Temperate and tropical cyclones?

Both temperate and tropical cyclones are low pressure adiabatic systems. However, the temperate cyclones are those which occur in mid latitudes i.e. 400 to 600 N & S. These are formed due to convergence of the warm (tropical) and Cold (Polar) airmasses. This is important to note that there confusion somewhere that these are formed by the convergence of warm and cold winds. Difference between winds and airmasses should carefully be understood. These cyclones, being convergence of contrasting airmasses, have clear and well developed fronts. In this way the entire cyclones is divided into four regions /parts. 1. Warm sector; 2. Cold sector; 3. Warm front; and 4. Cold front. The isobars of temperate cyclones are Wedge shaped or oval shaped. Whereas the tropical cyclones are those which occur in lower latitudes, normally 100 to 300 N & S latitudes and are caused due to the convergence of warm dry and warm moist airmasses. These cyclones do not experience fronts, or if have, then very weak fronts. The weather conditions, associated with the cyclone, are studied on the following 5 bases. 1. before arrival of cyclone; 2. Arrival of fore part; 3. Eye of the cyclone; 4. Arrival of back part; and 5. After departure of the cyclone. The isobars of tropical cyclones are circular.

How are tsunamis and cyclones the same?

They are the same because they are both 0-point swirling vortexes in nature. Both are caused by anti-gravitational colliding with earthly gravitational forces. Tsunamis and cyclones are not the same.

How do you explain cyclones winds?

Cyclones, typhoons, and hurricanes are exactly the same but happen in different parts of the world. They are formed when fluid spins in a curricular motion, going the same direction as the earth.


Can two cyclones happen at once?

Yes. Extratropical cyclones happen all the time, and at times the Atlantic Ocean has had as many as 5 tropical cyclones at the same time. Right now (August 18, 2010) there are two tropical cyclones in the Pacific: Tropical Storm Fernanda and Hurricane Greg
