Question

how cyclone works

Answer 1

In meteorology, a cyclone is the rotation of a volume of air about an area of low atmospheric pressure. Cyclones are responsible for a wide variety of different meteorological phenomena such as tropical cyclones and tornadoes. Because of this, most weather forecasters avoid using the term cyclone without a qualifying term.

The terms hurricane and typhoon are regionally specific names for a strong tropical cyclone —— a non-frontal, synoptic-scale, warm-core low-pressure system with cyclonic surface wind circulation (Holland 1993).

The center of a cyclone is a low-pressure region. Near the center of the cyclone the pressure gradient force, from high- to low-pressure regions, and the Coriolis force must be in an approximate balance (or else the cyclone would collapse in on itself under the pressure gradient). The wind flow around a large cyclone is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere, due to the Coriolis effect. Large anticyclonic storms are extremely rare on Earth, though Jupiter's Great Red Spot storm is anticyclonic.

Answer 2

"Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 17 meters per second (39 mph / 62.7 kph / 34 knots) are called tropical depressions. Once the tropical cyclone reaches winds of at least 17 meters per second (m/s), it is typically called a tropical storm and assigned a name. If winds reach 33 m/s (74 mph / 119 kph / 64 kt), then it is called a "hurricane."

Answer 3

A warm and a cold air mass meet. When they do, sometimes the warm air causes the cold air to turn around it, causing a horizontal cyclone. If this horizontal air mass combination starts to turn vertical, it has the potential to reach the ground and thus, a tornado is born.

Check it out at the library. I remember they had a book about it at our local library.
