my project title is cyclone so plz tell me few facts abt it?

Answer 1

The first site gives you an in depth explanation, the second site is great if you want the most basic, important stuff. Good luck.

cyclone is what the east side of the world calls hurricanes, so if you know anything about hurricanes, then it is exactally the same thing for a cyclone. season is may through september, they have a classification detiremined by wind speed from catagory 1 to catagory 5, a hurricane (cyclone) becomes a hurricane from a tropical storm when the wind speed reaches 75 or 78, i can't remember which, they use a preditirmined set of names for the storm that is made before the season starts, it starts with a and goes to z, but there are 4 or 5 letters they do not use, but i don't remember which ones, and like last year they used all the preset names, so for the first time in history they used the greek alphabet, so thats why they had storms alpha, beta etc. The atlantic and the pacific have their own alphabet, so they know which storm is where. hurricans can be as much as 650 miles across, and have an "eye" in the middle, the eye diameter can vary, Katrinas eye was only 6 miles across if i remember right, while hurricane betsy, that hit in the 60's, and was a very violent and deadly storm, had an eyewall that was around 20 miles across. the smaller the eye the more violent the storm. hurricans can produce tornadoes, and because of the low pressure associated with it, can produce giant waves. The millibar (barometric pressure) is used to ditirmine the pressures in the storm, and again is a method of detirmining its strength, as again, Katrina had a pressure of 870 millibars if i remember right, while betsy was around 890. hurricans start as a tropical depression, usually the atlantic storms start around Africa, and the pacific stroms start east of australia and the asia pacific lands. once they gain winds of 40 mph, they are classified as a tropical storm, then when winds reash 75 to 78 they are classified as a hurricane, catagory 5 storm winds can reach in excess of 205 mph. Consequently, tornados are smaller more violent storms, with F-5 storms winds reaching over 305 MPH, but they don't really know how fast because nothing built yet withstood winds beyond that, so it is not unreasonable to say the winds could reach 400 MPH. That is about all I know about Hurricans (typhoons) hope it helps to start your project...

In meteorology, a cyclone is the rotation of a volume of air around an area of low atmospheric pressure. This rotation is clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. 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).

Derivation of the term
The word "cyclone" appears to have been used first by Henry Piddington around 1840. The word is derived from the Greek word "kyklon" which means moving in a circle

Structure
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.

On satellite imagery, a polar low appears very similar to a hurricane, with an eye and convective bands wrapping around the center. Research aircraft data suggests that these "arctic hurricanes" may be warm-core systems. Lack of weather data makes forecasting of polar lows difficult. Most predictions in this area are more subjective than the prediction of tropical cyclones.

Cyclone destroys everything that comes in its way. Including you and me if we are in its way .It is unstoppable. It originates in western parts of big seas and oceans and moves westwards.It develops in places of low pressure areas.The high pressure of the areas beside the low pressure area go into that place ,merge and create whirlwinds called cyclones.It is also called as hurricane.It is a natural calamity.
Cyclones would bring strong winds,heavy rains which may cause floods and high tides in the seas.It could topple trees and damage houses and cause tsunamis(very high and strong waves).It will cause damage to life and property of the people.It may disrupt the daily life of the people. Some cyclones rip up house of mud walls and thatched roofs. For example cyclones in Tamilnadu region of India.

I hope this is enough.Have a nice day

Answer 5

cyclone is one of the natural calamities that occur bcoz of the raise in level of local winds and the normal wind pressure...
the occurance of such can be noticed by using a wind guage and an ANEMOMETER...usually these type of winds occur along the oceanic areas but when such happen in city areas or on land, there will be totally fatal conditions ... some of the houses will be picked and there will be destruction of trees and the normal human life..
as the name indicates, the cyclone is a type of whirling wind

Answer 6

A tropical storm, that has a similar effect as a hurricane, only not as violent. Only seen in the tropics (tropical islands).
That's what I remember from grade school forty some years ago. Long time, eh?

Answer 7

I have a vacuum that is called "cyclone"
