What is the difference between a cyclone and a anti cyclone?

Cyclones usually bring stormy weather while anticyclones usually bring fair weather.


What fuels a middle-latitude cyclone?

A middle-latitude cyclone is fueled by the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses along a front. The temperature difference creates a pressure gradient that drives the cyclone's circulation. Additionally, the Earth's rotation and atmospheric instability contribute to its formation and development.


What fuels lanterns?

Kerosene usually.


Do hurricanes usually appear in the tropical zones?

Yes. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone.


Does a cyclone have a tornado and hurricane inside?

No. Simply put, a hurricane is a specific type of cyclone (i.e. a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph). Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms which are in turn usually produced by a cyclone or the fronts that may be associated with it. But many cyclones do not produce tornadoes.


How long does a cyclone or a twister last?

The duration of a cyclone or twister can vary widely depending on its size and intensity. On average, a cyclone or tornado typically lasts for a few minutes to a few hours, with the most powerful tornadoes potentially lasting up to an hour or more. Cyclones can last for several days as they move across a region.


Was Cyclone Tracy a tropical cyclone?

Yes, Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone.


What often fuels a middle latitude cyclone?

A middle latitude cyclone is typically fueled by the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses. As warm air rises and cold air sinks, the rotation of the Earth helps to create the cyclonic circulation that defines these systems. Additionally, the presence of a jet stream can enhance the development and intensity of middle latitude cyclones.


What cyclone hit before Cyclone Tracy?

Cyclone Selma came before Cyclone Tracy.


Was Cyclone Tracy a typical cyclone?

No. Cyclone Tracy was an a very intense but abnormally small cyclone.


What is the difference between tropical cyclone and temperate cyclone?

A tropical cyclone is characterized by organized convection and thunderstorms. This convection, fueled by warm, moist air, is what powers a tropical cyclone. Because of the amount of moisture needed, these systems can only develop over warm ocean water. Because of their tropical origin, tropical cyclones usually form in environments of relatively little temperature contrast. The core of a tropical cyclone is generally warmer than its surroundings. A temperate cyclone, more often called and extratropical or mid-latitude cyclone usually lacks organized convection. When convection does occur with these systems, it usually does not play a key role in the system's development. They are powered by collisions between warm and cold air masses, and so form in areas of large temperature contrasts. Unlike their tropical counterparts, these systems tend to be strongest in cold environments.
