Why are cyclones formed on the equator?
Cyclones don't form at the equator. The Coriolis effect is a key element in the formation of cyclones. Its influence is negligible at the equator.
Why do cyclones occur in hot places?
Cyclones need warm sea temperatures (above 26 degrees Celsius) in order to form.
Where do most cyclones occur?
Cyclones form and occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the Southern Hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes. Cyclones are prevalent in humid, tropical, warm to hot regions. They require a minimum sea temperature of 26.5 degrees Celsius in order to form. They do not usually occur north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn as the sea temperature is not generally high enough to support the development of a cyclone. There are always exceptions, however, and in Australia they have been known to move south of the Tropic of Capricorn after forming further north. This is because they follow the warm water currents.
Why does Queensland have cyclones?
Northern Australia and the waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans generate ideal conditions for the development of cyclones. Cyclones need warm cean temperatures of 26.5 degrees or higher to form. The sea currents around northern Australia, the Indian Ocean to its northwest and the Coral Sea to the northeast have these warmer sea currents. Not all of Australia has cyclones, because regions further south do not have warm enough waters to generate the conditions needed.
Do hurricanes and cyclones form in the tropics?
Hurricanes do, but not all cyclones do. Hurricanes fally into a class of weather phenomenon called a tropical cyclone. There are other types of cyclone, however, including mid-latitude or extratropical cyclones, and polar lows.
Why are cyclones formed on the equator?
Cyclones don't form at the equator. The Coriolis effect is a key element in the formation of cyclones. Its influence is negligible at the equator.
Do tropical cyclones form over land?
no
Do cyclones occur on the moon?
No. The moon has no atmosphere for cyclones or any other kind of weather pattern to form in.
Does a cyclone start at the water?
Not necessarily. Although tropical cyclones can only form over warm ocean water, extratropical cyclones can form over land.
Are all cyclones tropical?
Yes. Cyclones need sea temperatures of 26.5 degrees Celsius or higher to form.
When cyclones form in the far east the are called?
Typhoons
How do catastrophic events form?
Hurricanes,typhoons, and cyclones
Where are cyclones most likely to form?
the south pacific
What is the plural of cyclone?
The plural form of cyclone is cyclones.
How are Typhoons and tropical cyclones different?
Cyclones occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the southern hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes.
Where did the tropical cyclones form on land or in the ocean?
Tropical cyclones begin to form on water. The water must be at least 80 degrees fahrenheit and have a depth of 150 feet.
Where can tropical cyclones develop?
Yes a tropical cyclone can develop but you wouldn't know till you saw it. They may be common in some areas but not all. But that is what i am guessing.
