What is the death of midlatitude cyclone?

The death of a midlatitude cyclone typically occurs when it moves into an area of unfavorable atmospheric conditions, such as stable air or a decrease in temperature gradients and moisture availability. This can cause the cyclone to weaken and eventually dissipate, bringing an end to its life cycle. Additionally, interaction with land or encountering upper-level winds can also contribute to the decay of a midlatitude cyclone.


What is a weather system also called depression that brings strong winds thick clouds and rain or snow?

Low pressure system, (midlatitude) cyclone, or just storm.


What is the difference between stroam and cyclone?

A cyclone is a large scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and cyclonic rotation. Most storms are small to middle scale systems and do not rotate.


What typhoon caused the most damage in China?

The most damages in china are caused by Hurricanes Typhoons and cyclone. There is a brief question about cyclone but I'm just going to do the introduction. What is a Cyclone? A cyclone is a heavy wind that spins around (northern hemisphere) and damages environment. In order for a Cyclone to happen the water needs to be at least 26 degrees. Above the warm ocean the clouds are formed, it pulls and begin to rotate (spins). It starts to spin, that's how cyclone continues.


Is a cyclone a storm that is in the Pacific Ocean?

A cyclone is not necessarily restricted to the Pacific Ocean. Cyclones are also often formed and found in the Indian Ocean, northwest of Australia. 'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. These tropical storms tend to be called 'cyclones' in the southern hemisphere, and they rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise.

Is a snow storm a storm cell?

No, a storm cell is what thunderstorms are sometimes referred to. A snow storm is a type of midlatitude cyclone, meaning it is a low pressure system that spans hundreds of miles in diameter.

Do thunderstorm often form along the warm front of a midatitude cyclone?

No. Thunderstorms are frequently spawned along the cold front of a midlatitude cyclone (Lutgens & Tarbuck, 2011, p.400).Lutgens, F. K., & Tarbuck, E. J. (2011). Foundations of Earth Science (6th ed.). Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Pearson Prentice Hall.

Can you prevent a cyclone and why?

No, there is no effective way of stopping a cyclone. Humans do not have the resources to stop or prevent something so large and so powerful, whether it is a tropical, or extratropical cyclone.


Where are broadleaf trees found?

It is found throughout the midlatitude region of the earth.


Why is a tropical cyclone the way it is?

Because the generate alot of wind.


Which way do tornadoes rotate?

Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
