Is a cyclone a system of wind in which the wind blows spirally?
That is part of the definition. The description here could apply to both cyclones and anticyclones. A cyclones is a low-pressure wind systems in which wind spirals in a cyclonic direction: counterclockwise for systems in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Cyclones generally bring stormy or rainy weather. An anticyclone is the opposite; it is a high-pressure system with winds that spiral clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. Anticyclones generally bring clear weather.
How does the anticyclone's air inside affect weather?
Cyclones - air cools and clouds form and may cause rainy or stormy weather. Anticyclones - it brings dry and clear weather.
Does Winds generally blow:Toward areas of high pressure.?
yes
What do hurricanes and cyclones and typhoons have in common?
Ahurricane and a typhoon are essentially the same type of storm, that is tropical cyclones with winds of at least 74 mph. Both are kinds of cyclones. A cyclone is a low pressure system that rotates counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere..
What air motion causes cloud formation and causes the winds to converge into cyclones?
Winds

Explain how cyclones and anticyclones affect the weather.?
During a cyclone, the air in the center of the storm rises, cools, and forms clouds that lead to rain. Anticyclones bring clear skies, low winds, and dry weather.
What do tornadoes and anticyclones have in common?
They both have rotating winds. Other than that they are completely different. Anticyclones are large-scale high-pressure systems that bring calm, clear weather. Tornadoes are small centers of low pressure with extremely violent winds.
How do anticyclones form?
For a anticyclone to form a air mass must be cooling faster than the surrounding air. This causes the air to contract which in turn makes the air more dense. Because dense air weighs more, the air atmosphere over this area increases causing increased air pressure.
Why are storms classed as Lows with severe winds and not cyclones?
Cyclones too are low pressure areas as like storms.But cyclones contain both a worm front & a cold front.Which the storms lacks. (A front is known as the boundry separating two air masses of different temperatures).
How does the anticyclone's air inside affect weather?
Cyclones - air cools and clouds form and may cause rainy or stormy weather. Anticyclones - it brings dry and clear weather.
Winds spiral out from areas of?
High pressure areas
Describe the movement of air around cyclones and anticyclones in the northern and southern hemispheres?
The winds of a cyclone in the southern hemisphere moves in a clockwise direction, while the winds of a hurricane or typhoon, often called anti-cyclone, in the northern hemisphere, rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
Is rising air associated with a low pressure cell?
First answer was incorrect (in this thread)....Here's the breakdown:Regions of sinking air are called highs, high pressure regions or anticyclones. Clear skies and fair weather usually occur in these regions.Regions of rising air are called lows, low pressure regions, depressions or cyclones. Clouds rain and strong winds often occur in these regions.
What are anti cyclones?
An anticyclone is an area of high pressure rather than low pressure ("cyclone"). Weather associated with anticyclones features clear skies and relatively calm winds. This remains true in both hemispheres, however, the rotation of air is what differs. Anticyclonic motion is clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. Cyclonic motion is the opposite.
Winds are produced when there is a different in what?
Winds are produced when there is a difference in atmospheric pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure in the atmosphere to areas of low pressure. This movement of air is experienced as wind.
Wind moves from areas of high temp to low temp?
Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally. Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally.
