Cyclone Pam was named by the Fiji Meteorological Service, which follows a naming convention for tropical cyclones in the South Pacific. The name "Pam" was chosen from a pre-established list of names that rotate every few years. Naming cyclones helps with communication and awareness, making it easier for media and the public to track and discuss the storm. Cyclone Pam occurred in March 2015 and was particularly notable for its intensity and impact on Vanuatu.
Cyclone Pam formed due to a combination of warm ocean waters, favorable atmospheric conditions, and low wind shear in the region of the South Pacific. These factors allowed for the development and intensification of the storm as it drew energy from the warm sea surface. Additionally, the presence of low pressure systems contributed to the cyclone's formation. Overall, the interaction of these environmental elements created the conditions necessary for Cyclone Pam to develop.
Cyclone Pam originated in the South Pacific Ocean, developing near the Solomon Islands in early March 2015. It intensified as it moved southeastward, eventually impacting several islands in Vanuatu and surrounding areas. The cyclone was notable for its devastating effects, particularly in Vanuatu, where it caused significant damage and humanitarian crises.
When they are severe!
the center of the cyclone p.s.cyclonescan also be called hurricanes or typhoones :) (:

Weather phenomena are powerful things, and humanity is still far away from any realistic and reliable weather control. So no, cyclone Pam, or any other cyclone, could not be prevented. What is POSSIBLE though, is to have warning systems, evacuation plans and shelters, to prevent and reduce the risk to humans as far as possible.

The central part of a cyclone is called the eye. The eye is typically a calm, clear area with light winds located at the center of the storm.
A tropical cyclone off the coast of China is called a typhoon.
There is such thing as a tropical depression, a type of cyclone. The "depression" part is named after the low-pressure system of the cyclone.
