Where do cyclones occur and why?

Answer 1

A cyclone is formed over tropical seas. Winds from opposite directions meet. This air is heated by the warm seas and so evaporates moisture from the ocean. This warm air rises up rapidly, cools and condenses to form clouds and produces an area of very low pressure. When moisture and air mix, it makes a collection of thunderstorms from which a cyclone can develop. Water needs to be at least 26 degrees warm so a tropical cyclone can develop.

More air is sucked in to take its place, and it too is heated and rises rapidly. This sucking in and risins movement of the air produces spiralling clouds. Eventually, an enormous storm system is built up, which can spread over two hundred kilometres. Heavy rain falls from the clouds. There is much thunder and lightning and the fast winds whip up the waves of the ocean.

In the middle of this system, air moves down. This produces a patch of drier, calm weather with few clouds. It is called the 'eye' of the storm and can last for an hour before the fierce winds and torrential rainstorms sweep in again. When the cyclone hits land, it soon weakens as there is no warm, moist air to 'feed' the storm.

Answer 2

Cyclone is the term that covers cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. Therefore, some areas of the world that are cyclone-prone include:

• Australia's northern coastline, from north west to northeast (the Indian ocean to the Coral Sea)
• The Solomon Islands
• Fiji
• the Philippines
• India
• Burma
• the Caribbean
• Bangladesh
• Gulf of Mexico
• Southeastern United States
• Myanmar (Burma)
• Taiwan

The reason that cyclones occur in these areas is because of the warmer waters. Cyclones can only form over oceans, where the water temperature is a minimum of 26.5 degrees Celsius. Cyclones tend to form from tropical lows, or as a result of tropical storms out at sea, and these areas are most conducive to these conditions.

Actual cyclones are prone to occur in tropical regions, such as northern Australia, Southeast Asia and many Pacific islands. They sometimes drift into the temperate coastal areas, threatening more heavily populated regions to the South. Northern Australia has about four or five tropical cyclones every year during the summertime wet season.

Answer 3

Cyclones, also known as hurricanes or typhoons, occur in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They form over warm ocean waters when atmospheric conditions are conducive to their development, such as low wind shear and high humidity. As warm air rises and cools, it creates an area of low pressure that can lead to the formation of a cyclone.
