Why do tropical cyclones move in a westward direction?
Tropical cyclones do not always move in a westward direction. For example, cyclones that form off the northwest coast of Australia tend to move eastwards towards the coastline.
In what direction did the tropical cyclones?
In what direction did the tropical cyclone move?
Why do tropical cyclones produce such violent weather?
Tropical cyclones have tremendous amounts of energy. As the storms move, they release the energy in high winds and rain. Most cyclones have the destructive energy of several nuclear weapons.
Where do cyclones occur the most?
Tropical cyclones are most likely to occur over warm and moist, (tropical) seas and oceans. they do move across seas and builds up, but when the cyclones hits the land it will slow down and will loose energy :) hope this helped :)
Do tropical areas get hurricanes cyclones and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.

What is meant by a family of cyclones?
"More than one tornado at a time." The term "family" of cyclones does not necessarily have to deal with tornadoes. The meteorological term has to do with mid-latitude cyclones. Basically meaning a particular number wave cyclones (low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere) that move in succession. Example: During the winter (in the Northern Hemisphere), when you get cold front after cold front. This is referred to as a "family" of cyclones.

What are cyclones called in Europe?
Cyclones in Europe are known as cyclones. They are not called hurricanes - this is a term generally reserved for cyclones in the Americas.
Are cyclones geological?
No, cyclones are meteorological.
How do middle-latitude cyclones affect weather across the united states?
They bring stormy weather as they move from west to east
Are there any cyclones in Japan?
Yes, Japan does have cyclones. The term for cyclones in this area of the world is typhoons.
Are cyclones similar to tusnaimis?
No. Cyclones are similar to hurricanes.
What are the precautions to stop cyclones?
There are none. Cyclones cannot be stopped.
