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.

∙ 12y agoCyclone 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
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.

Do cyclones occur on the moon?
No. The moon has no atmosphere for cyclones or any other kind of weather pattern to form in.
Where do cyclones occur the most?
Tropical cyclones are most likely to occur over warm and moist, (tropical) seas and oceans. they do move across seas and builds up, but when the cyclones hits the land it will slow down and will loose energy :) hope this helped :)
When do tropical cyclones develop?
If you look are both hemispheres, tropical cyclones can occur in any month. However, they most often occur in summer and early fall. This is generally July-October for the northern hemisphere and January-April for the southern hemisphere.
Do Tropical cyclones ever leave the tropics?
Typhoons, cyclones, and hurricanes are the same thing. Typhoons occur in the western Pacific Ocean Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico; intense form of tropical storm Cyclones occur near the Indian Ocean and Australia. They need very warm ocean water and an air disturbance to keep warm air rising to last.
Where do cyclones mainly occur in the world?
Cyclones and hurricane are the same sort of storm but with different names. Cyclones occur mostly in the Pacific.
What year do cyclones hit?
Cyclones occur every year.
Where cyclones occur in India?
in canada
Does a hurricane or a cyclone involve us more?
Cyclones occur more. This is because all hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes.
Where do cylcones happen?
Cyclones occur in the Pacific. Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic
When do tropical cyclones occur in Australia?
Cyclones occur in the summer wet season. This means they tend to occur between November and April, with the greatest probability being between December and February.
Do cyclones occur on the moon?
No. The moon has no atmosphere for cyclones or any other kind of weather pattern to form in.
What are the similarities of cyclones and floods?
They both occur on water
Is global warming the cause of more cyclones?
As known by many, cyclones occur because of water. Yes, possibly it is.
What 2 natural hazards do not occur in Tasmania?
Cyclones and volcanic eruptions do not occur in Tasmania.
What month of the year tropical cyclones occur most?
it usually occur from september to november.
What month of the year do tropical cyclones occur most?
it usually occur from september to november.
What type of air is associated with cyclones?
It depends on the kind of cyclone. Tropical cyclones are powered by warm, moist air. Polar lows are systems that occur in cold air. Mid-latitude cyclones occur where air masses of different temperatures meet.
