How does coriolis effect affect the cyclone?
The Coriolis force is required for a cyclone to form into a tropical cyclone or hurricane. The force causes a greater deflection of the air (right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern) and the correct speeds for the tropical cyclone to form. Hence why tropical cyclones do not form at or within 5 degrees of the equator, and cease to exist at around 35 degrees north, or 15 degrees south.
What is a large swirling storm that form over tropical water called?
A name that's given to a tropical cyclone is cyclone Tracy
Can a cyclone be detected before it happens?
Yes. Meteorologists can measure the conditions that can lead to the formation of a cyclone and predict whether one is likely to form.
What is the two bodies of water that the tropical cyclone form?
Most of the Tropical cyclones what affect to the Philippines form over the Caroline Islands area located in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean. Some also form in the South China Sea.
Meaning of typhoon signal numbers in the Philippines?
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) releases tropical cyclone warnings in the form of Public Storm Warning Signals (PSWS) An area having a storm signal may be under:PSWS #1 - Tropical cyclone winds of 30-60 km/h are expected within the next 36 hours. (Note: If a tropical cyclone forms very close to the area, then a shorter lead time is seen on the warning bulletin.)PSWS #2 - Tropical cyclone winds of 60-100 km/h are expected within the next 24 hours.PSWS #3 - Tropical cyclone winds of 100-185 km/h are expected within the next 18 hours.PSWS #4 - Tropical cyclone winds of greater than 185 km/h are expected within 12 hours.

Other names for hurricanes are typhoons and?
Another name would be cyclone, tropical cyclone or severe tropical cyclone these names apply to the storms that form in the southern pacific below the equator and the Indian ocean.
What do you call to the hurricanes that form south of equator and west of international date line?
It's called a Tropical Cyclone, or just a cyclone.
Condition in the environment during and after during cyclone?
The source of the tropical cyclone is warm moist air and the lateral heat it contains so it brings a lot of heat especially when the host air descend in the eye / centre of the storm It form Cumulu nimbus clouds heavy rainfall and thunderstorm Wind speed is high
What day did hurricane Fiona form?
Fiona is not a hurricane, but a tropical storm. The storm became a tropical cyclone on August 30, 2010.
What is the difference between tropical cyclone and temperate cyclone?
A tropical cyclone is characterized by organized convection and thunderstorms. This convection, fueled by warm, moist air, is what powers a tropical cyclone. Because of the amount of moisture needed, these systems can only develop over warm ocean water. Because of their tropical origin, tropical cyclones usually form in environments of relatively little temperature contrast. The core of a tropical cyclone is generally warmer than its surroundings. A temperate cyclone, more often called and extratropical or mid-latitude cyclone usually lacks organized convection. When convection does occur with these systems, it usually does not play a key role in the system's development. They are powered by collisions between warm and cold air masses, and so form in areas of large temperature contrasts. Unlike their tropical counterparts, these systems tend to be strongest in cold environments.
Why do cylones happen in the tropical seas?
Because the energy required to power a cyclone - the heat form the Sun is only strong enough in tropical areas.
Can a cyclone be detected before it happens?
Yes. Meteorologists can measure the conditions that can lead to the formation of a cyclone and predict whether one is likely to form.
Can a tropical cyclone originate over a hot desert?
Tropical cyclones can only form over water. There is not enough hydrologic energy over a desert to begin the cyclonic action.
Why did Cyclone Tracy occur?
Cyclone Tracy intensified from a storm that developed out in the Arafura Sea. Cyclones can only form if certain conditions are present: e.g. the surface temperature of the ocean needs to be 26.5°C or higher, and there must be a tropical low present. The low air pressure system then begins to pull in clouds and rotate.
How is an extratropical cyclone different from a tropical cyclone?
Extratropical cyclones are typically connected to fronts and usually form along boundaries of air masses of different temperature and/or dew point. Tropical cyclones are different in that they have what is called a "warm core" and a fueled by a somewhat different mechanism.
