Why do cyclones occur in hot places?

Cyclones need warm sea temperatures (above 26 degrees Celsius) in order to form.


Are all cyclones tropical?

Yes. Cyclones need sea temperatures of 26.5 degrees Celsius or higher to form.


Why does Queensland have so many cyclones?

The waters around central and northern Queensland are more prone to cyclones because they are warmer waters. Cyclones need tropical conditions, or sea temperatures of 26.5 degrees or higher, to form.


Why doesn't Tasmania get cyclones?

Hurricanes and Tropical cyclones need to be in ideal conditions in order to form. One of these conditions is water temperature, the ocean surface temperature must be 26.5 degrees Celsius or more in order to form, these water temperatures are found most commonly around the tropics and equator. Tasmania is nearer to the poles than the tropics, hence the water is far cooler than what is necessary for a cyclone to form.


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.


Why do northern areas of Australia experience cyclones?

Cyclones need sea temperatures of 26.5 degrees Celsius or higher to form. These conditions are present in the waters off northern Australia, but not in the south.


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.


Can there be tropical cyclones in Finland why or why not?

There cannot be tropical cyclones in Finland for the simple reason that Finland is not in a tropical or subtropical area. In order for cyclones to form, certain conditions are required, and one of these conditions is sea surface temperatures of 26.5 degrees Celsius or higher. This does not occur in the seas around Finland.


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.


Where are cyclones most likely to form?

the south pacific
