How dies friction effect the net flow of air around a cyclone and anticyclone?

Without friction air is controlled by pressure differences and the rotation of the earth. Friction slows down the air movement while the pressure source remains the same.

What effects a cyclone?
There are several things that have a negative effect on a cyclone. High pressure fronts have a tendency to weaken a cyclone. When a cyclone passes over land, it weakens because it has no water for heat.
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.
How are friction and heat related?
try rubbing your hands together quickly. the heat you feel is an effect of friction. friction occurs when two surfaces rub together.as a result of friction, heat is produced. for example, when a person skates on ice, the ice and skate rub together. this friction gives heat. :)
How can tropical cyclones be managed?
Tropical cyclones cannot be managed or prevented, so the only recourse is to warn people, prepare communities and put programmes into effect to clean up afterwards. Tropical cyclone warning systems are in place within cyclone-prone countries such as Australia. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology keeps residents informed on the development, current and predicted movements and progress of a cyclone. Communities in cyclone-prone areas in developed countries like Australia make use of technology to construct buildings which can better withstand cyclonic effects. This has particularly been the case since Cyclone Tracy blew away most of the city of Darwin in 1974. Emergency services are better prepared nowadays, while the media and websites keep the public well informed of how to prepare their homes and properties before cyclones and what to do once a cyclone hits.
Why tropical cyclone is not happening at the equator?
The rotation of a large-scale weather system depends on the Coriolis effect, in which moving air is deflected relative to earth's surface. This effect is strongest near the poles and diminishes to zero at the equator. Since this effect is weak at the lowest latitudes, tropical storms generally cannot organize within 5 degrees of the equator.
How does air move in a anticyclone and how does this effect the weather?
The air in anticyclones moves out from the center, cool air moves downward from higher in the troposphere. Anticyclone generally causes dry, clear weather.

Do balloons create friction?
Friction is the effect caused by two objects coming into direct contact with one another. Balloons are subject to friction, which is why you can hold them or tie a string around them.

What will be the effect on friction when contact points are reduced?
No effect
Do friction have same effect?
No
How does friction effect effiecency?
If there is more friction with a machine, efficiency is less.
What effect does friction have on the speed of an object?
more friction = less speed
