We know that when the water changes its state, heat is evolved.
So,
Before cloud formation, water takes up heat from the atmosphere to change into vapour. When water vapour changes back to liquid, in the form of rain drops, this heat is released in to the air, thus heating the surrounding air. Now this warm air tends to rise and causes a drop in pressure. More air rushes to the centre of the storm. This cycle is repeated. The chain of events results in the formation of a very very low pressure system with high speed winds revolving around it. It is these weather conditions which are called a cyclone.
No, a cyclone is a large-scale weather system that rotates around a low-pressure center, typically bringing strong winds and heavy rain. A tornado, on the other hand, is a small-scale, rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground.
No. A tornado is a small scale but violent vortex that forms as a result of a thunderstorm and are dependent on a parent storm.A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system orders of magnitude larger than a tornado. Cyclones can be violent but do not have to be.Cyclones and tornadoes both have low pressure and cyclonic rotation, but they are classified separately as they operate on different scales and are powered by different mechanisms
A 'Typhoon' is a weather system (much much bigger than a cloud), other names for one (in different oceans) are 'Cyclone' and 'Hurricane. You are probably thinking of a 'Tornado' which is formed out of one cloud called a super-cell or 'Cumulonimbus' cloud.
An active thunderstorm refers to a thunderstorm that is currently producing lightning, thunder, and precipitation. These storms can also have strong winds, hail, and potentially tornadoes. It's important to stay indoors and take necessary precautions during an active thunderstorm to stay safe.
The name of the Bangladesh cyclone of 1991 was Cyclone Marian. The category 5 cyclone, among the deadliest cyclones on record, struck southeastern Bangladesh on April 29, 1991.
No, a thunderstorm and a cyclone are different weather phenomena. A thunderstorm is a localized weather event characterized by lightning, thunder, and sometimes heavy rain or hail. On the other hand, a cyclone is a large-scale system of winds rotating around a low-pressure center, often leading to strong winds and heavy rainfall.
A hurricane does not form from a single thunderstorm. A tornado does. Often a thunderstorm has upper-level rotation for at least half an hour or more before producing a tornado, however, some storms develop and become tornadic in less than 15 minutes.Hurricanes form from large, usually disorganized clusters of storms. It may take days for these clusters of storms to organize intro a tropical depression (tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph). It will usually be several more days before such a system reaches hurricane strength (winds of at least 74 mph).
No, a cyclone is a large-scale weather system that rotates around a low-pressure center, typically bringing strong winds and heavy rain. A tornado, on the other hand, is a small-scale, rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground.
No. A cyclone can produce tornadoes, but it cannot become one. They are two very different types of weather event.
No. Although some people refer to tornadoes as cyclones this is incorrect. A cyclone is a large scale low pressure system A tornado is a small scale circulation spawned from a thunderstorm. However, there is one type of tornado known as a landspout.
A cyclone is a large-scale rotating low pressure system with a defined center of circulation. They can bring strong winds, thunderstorms, and various precipitation depending on the kind of cyclone. A thunderstorm is any rainstorm that produces thunder and lighting. Thunderstorms are a smaller scale phenomenon than cyclones and generally do not rotate. When a thunderstorm does rotate, it is still a smaller-scale pattern than a cyclones, and is instead called a supercell. A rotating complex of thunderstorms may be considered a cyclone, however.

A thunderstorm is any rain storm that produces thunder and lighting. They are typically the result of a rising mass of warm, moist air in a cumulonimbus cloud. A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system with a defined center of rotation, turning counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. There are tropical cyclones, which include hurricanes and typhoons, and mid-latitude cyclones, which occur in temperate climates. A tornado is a violently rotating and often destructive column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground, often accompanied by a funnel-shaped cloud.
A cyclone is a large-scale low-pressure weather system with an organized cyclonic circulation (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern). A hurricane meets all these characteristics, and is more specifically a tropical cyclone. Tornadoes are sometimes called cyclone, but this is not entirely correct. A tornado is a low pressure area with an organized cyclonic circulation, but it is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm.
A tornado and a cyclone cannot collide as they work on entirely different orders of magnitude. A cyclone is is its own large-scale self-sustaining weather system. A tornado is a small-scale vortex that is part of a parent thunderstorm, which is itself usually part of a larger storm system. Most tornadoes form from storms that develop along the fronts connected to a mid-latitude cyclone, and some are produced in theouter storm bands of tropical cyclones. When two cyclones collide, they merge into one.
When maximum sustained winds reach 39 mph.
Yes, Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone.
