Yes it can travel over earth
"South Asian Cyclones"Two cyclones have hit South Asia .
Once cyclones make landfall, they quickly lose intensity, and usually degenerate into a tropical depression, dumping heavy rain over an area. If they cross a relatively narrow peninsula, there is a good chance they will redevelop when they reach the open sea again.
Annually, the five countries that get hit with the most cyclones are the US, China, the Philippines, Mexico, and Japan. However, since 1970, the five countries that have been hit by the most cyclones total are China, the Philippines, Mexico, Japan, and the US.
Cyclones can hit coastal cities and regions around the world, with some of the most prone areas being in the Western Pacific (such as the Philippines and Japan), the Indian Ocean (including India and Bangladesh), and the Atlantic Ocean (impacting regions like the Caribbean and the southeastern United States).
They can happen at any time. The United States gets two types of cyclones: tropical cyclones (tropiical storms and hurricanes) and mid-latitude cyclones. Tropical cyclones typically hit the United States in the later half of summer and early fall. Mid-latitude cyclones are more common and can occur at any time, but are most common and strongest in the colder half of the year.

Not necessarily. Although tropical cyclones can only form over warm ocean water, extratropical cyclones can form over land.

Cyclones occur every year.
No it does not. Many cyclone never hit land, but people usually don't hear about these storms as they do not have much in the way of significant impacts.
Cyclones do not always cause flooding. Cyclone Tracy, which hit Darwin, Australia in 1974 ,was a classic example of a cyclone that hit violently causing widespread destruction, yet very little damage was caused by rain or flooding. Often cyclones degrade into tropical depressions when they hit land, and this is what causes the flooding, but there was very little rain associated with Cyclone Tracy compared to other cyclones.

When a Hurricane hits land, it creates huge waves, very heavy rains, and can cause flooding. Afterwards the storm will weaken rapidly.
No. Hurricanes (also called tropical cyclones) form over warm water and dissolve over land.
There were 2 different tropical cyclones named "Alvin" that happened in 2006 and 2007, but none of them affected any land at all.
Cyclones cannot hit Adelaide. Cyclones form in warm tropical waters, and then follow warm currents, but no warm currents extend from Australia's warmer waters to the south where Adelaide is located.
Approximately 206 tropical cyclones have hit Australia in the last 100 years.
