CYCLONE

 Cyclone

1) Low air pressure. Where there is this pressure, the air rotates from the periphery to the center. In cyclone centers that depend on the rotation of the Earth, rotation occurs in the north hemisphere by the opposite of the clock scorpion, and in the southern hemisphere by movement in the direction of the clock scorpion. In these places where air masses meet each other, fronts often form that lead to storms and precipitation.

2) A storm that occurs in warm regions of the world and has a wind speed exceeding 50 meters per second.

A cyclone is a large-scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low pressure, and it is characterized by high winds and can lead to severe weather events. Cyclones are typically classified into different types based on their location, strength, and characteristics. These include tropical cyclones (such as hurricanes and typhoons) and extratropical cyclones (which occur in higher latitudes). Here's an overview:

1. Tropical Cyclone: A low-pressure system that forms over warm ocean waters in tropical regions. They are typically accompanied by thunderstorms, strong winds, and heavy rain. When these storms intensify, they can develop into hurricanes (in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific), typhoons (in the Western Pacific), or cyclones (in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific). Tropical cyclones can cause significant damage, including flooding, storm surges, and high winds.

2. Extratropical Cyclone: These occur in the mid-latitudes and are usually associated with weather fronts, leading to a variety of weather conditions such as rain, snow, or severe winds. They are not formed over warm ocean waters and are less intense than tropical cyclones, but they can still bring heavy precipitation and strong winds.

Key Characteristics of Cyclones:

• Low-pressure center: The core of a cyclone is an area where the air pressure is lower than the surrounding areas, causing air to flow toward it.
• Rotation: In the Northern Hemisphere, cyclones rotate counterclockwise, and in the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate clockwise, due to the Coriolis effect.
• Wind speeds: Cyclones can have extremely strong winds, especially in the most severe cases, with speeds exceeding 100 mph (160 km/h).
