GEOGRAPHY, ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY Tropical Cyclone Topics Covered What Are Tropical Cyclones?

Tropical cyclones are regarded as one of the most devastating natural calamities in the world. Tropical cyclones are violent storms that originate over oceans in tropical areas and move over to the coastal areas bringing about large scale destruction due to violent winds (squalls), very heavy rainfall (torrential rainfall) and storm surge. They are irregular wind movements involving closed circulation of air around a low pressure center. This closed air circulation (whirling motion) is a result of rapid upward movement of hot air which is subjected to Coriolis force. The low pressure at the center is responsible for the wind speeds. Squall == a sudden violent gust of wind or localized storm, especially one bringing rain, snow, or sleet. Torrent == a strong and fast-moving stream of water or other liquid. The cyclonic wind movements are anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere (This is due to Coriolis force). The cyclones are often characterized by existence of an anticyclone between two cyclones. Coriolis Force (f) The Coriolis force is zero at the equator (no cyclones at equator because of zero Coriolis Force) but it increases with latitude. Coriolis force at 5° latitude is significant
