What is a Tropical Cyclone?
A Powerful Storm System
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral pattern of thunderstorms.
Origins and Characteristics
Tropical cyclones form over warm tropical oceans and can vary in size, speed, and intensity. They are known by different names depending on their location, such as hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones.
Commonly known by the term hurricanes, these storms possess the power to devastate coastal areas, causing widespread damage and loss of life.
