Insights and Reflections about Tropical Cyclone

      

             
Today I have learned that a tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low-pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain. It strengthens when water evaporated from the ocean is released as the saturated air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapor contained in the moist air. The term "tropical" refers both to the geographical origin of these systems, which usually form in tropical regions of the globe, and to their formation in maritime tropical air masses. The term "cyclone" refers to such storms' cyclonic nature, with counterclockwise wind flow in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise wind flow in the Southern Hemisphere. The opposite direction of the wind flow is a result of the Coriolis force. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by names such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, and simply cyclone.

I will apply my learnings about Tropical Cyclones and the factors that may affect it so that, we can possibly tell, what weather phenomena might be causing a particular weather.

Learnings about this phenomenon is important because we can be aware of what weather might we experience during tropical cyclone. And also we can say that a Low Pressure Area might near our country might develop into a tropical cyclone.

On a larger scale, I will share my learnings in this phenomenon because knowledge about Tropical Cyclone can help us prepare ourselves for the dangers and other possible happenings that might occur during this phenomenon.

I need to know more about the factors that may contribute to the formation and development of a Tropical Cyclone and also the measures to be taken during it.
