Crushing and injuries from ballistic materials cause most of the fatalities. Ballistic materials can include the things accelerated by the violent winds (which can strike people with terrible results), or can include a person becoming a projectile because that individual (or a vehicle with him in it!) was thrown across the countryside.

How many people die per average cyclone?

There is no average. Cyclones can cause hundreds of millions of dollars and result in just one death (Cyclone Larry, Queensland, 2006) or result in a loss of life of between 400 and 410 (Cyclone Mahina, Queensland, 1899). Many cyclones have caused 40 deaths, 60 deaths or 140 deaths. There is no average.


Who names cyclones?

Cyclones are named by designated meteorological agencies in different regions of the world. Typically, they have a predetermined list of names that are rotated and retired once a cyclone causes significant damage or loss of life.


How many people die annually due to tropical cyclones?

On average, tropical cyclones cause around 10,000 deaths per year worldwide. The number of fatalities can vary greatly depending on the intensity of the storms and the preparedness of the affected areas.


What pressures do cyclones form as in high or low pressures?

Cyclones typically form in areas of low atmospheric pressure. The low pressure at the center of a cyclone causes air to spiral inward, creating strong winds and weather disturbances.


How do cyclones move?

Cyclones move due to a combination of the Earth's rotation, atmospheric pressure differences, and steering flow from surrounding weather systems. The Coriolis effect causes cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere to veer to the right while those in the Southern Hemisphere veer to the left, resulting in their characteristic spiral movement. Additionally, cyclones can be influenced by high and low-pressure systems, jet streams, and other weather phenomena as they travel across the globe.
