What is the most powerful and destructive type of cyclones?

Why do tropical cyclones produce such violent weather?
Tropical cyclones produce violent weather due to the combination of warm ocean temperatures, high humidity, and low wind shear. These conditions help fuel the storm, allowing it to strengthen rapidly and generate intense winds, heavy rainfall, and dangerous storm surges. The powerful convection within the storm system also contributes to its violent nature.
