Tropical cyclones may result in the formation of storm surges, which is formed by huge and heavy waves. The powerful winds of a cyclone can increase the height of the waves up to a destructive height of 10 - 20 feet. These storm surges can wash away buildings and drown people.

The spiraling bands of thunderstorm in a tropical cyclone may also form tornados, which are violent, dangerous wind funnels rotating at speeds of up to 480km per hour, increasing the cyclone's power of destruction. Tornadoes can suck up or smash nearly everything it comes across.

Why are the greatest effects of El Niño experienced mainly in the tropics?

The greatest effects of El Niño are primarily felt in the tropics due to the region's sensitivity to changes in ocean temperatures and atmospheric circulation. El Niño disrupts normal weather patterns, leading to significant alterations in precipitation and temperature, which are more pronounced in tropical areas. Additionally, the tropics are influenced heavily by the warm ocean waters associated with El Niño, amplifying its impact on weather systems such as monsoons and hurricanes. Consequently, regions within the tropics experience more extreme weather events, such as droughts and heavy rainfall, compared to other areas.
