How Tropical Cyclones are formed?

  • Tropical cyclones form over warm ocean waters near the equator.
  • When the warm, moist air from the ocean surface rises upward, a lower air pressure area is formed below.
  • Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure rushes into this low pressure area, eventually rising, after it also becomes warm and moist.
  • As warm, moist air rises, it cools down, and the water in the air forms clouds and thunderstorms. This whole system of clouds and winds gains strength and momentum using the ocean’s heat, and the water that evaporates from its surface.

The category of tropical cyclones

  • It is classified into five categories — Category 1 to Category 5.
  • While Category 1 tropical cyclones bring winds of 119 to 153 kmph,
  • Category 5 tropical cyclones, which are the strongest, have winds of 252 kph or higher.
  • Category 3 and higher are considered major tropical cyclones due to their potential to inflict significant damage.
