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.

Is where a cyclone formed?
cyclones are formed over the pacific ocean
Where do cyclones start to appear?
in warm climates (warm places) near the equator.
Do cyclones spin opposite below the equator?
Yes. Cyclones in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
Which way does mid-latitude cyclone rotate?
Cyclones, mid-latitude and otherwise, in the Northern hemisphere rotate anti-clockwise, and cyclones south of the equator rotate clockwise.
Why do yhu think ozone is formed over the equator?
The ozone is formed over equator. It is because of the high temperature.

What would if earth rotated slowly?
It firstly depends how slow,as slower it rotates bigger the difference of daily temperatures especially around Equator,where most of the cyclones are formed. Always slower rotation would mean the cyclones of unprecedented strengths and unpredictability.
How are Typhoons and tropical cyclones different?
Cyclones occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the southern hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes.
Why are tropical cyclones never observed within about 5 north and south latitudes?
Cyclones require, some amount of Coriolis force in order to gain their rotation. This effect is strongest at the poles and zero at the equator. Within 5 degrees of the equator, the effect is too weak for cyclones to organize.
What is the phenomenon that causes cyclones to spin counterclockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator?
it just does... google it if ur curious

Is it possible for typhoon to cross the equator and continue as typhoon or does the equator change the effect of the storm?
A tropical cyclone, (i.e. a hurricane or typhoon) could not cross the equator. All cyclones depend on the Coriolis force in order to spin. The Coriolis force is greatest at the poles and nonexistent at the equator. A tropical cyclone that approaches the equator would likely degenerate into a disorganized cluster of thunderstorms. Such an event would be unusual in any case as the general wind pattern tends to steer tropical cyclones away from the equator rather than toward it.
Why do you think ozone is formed over the equator?
Ozone is formed over the equator. It is because ozone forms in hot areas.
Why do you have cyclones?
Fundamental answer is because the Earth rotates. The equator is moving faster than the poles (by about a 1000 miles per hour).
