This video explores the life cycle of cyclones – how atmospheric conditions, ocean temperatures and the Earth’s rotation combine to create them, how they are driven by winds and eventually weaken after moving over land.

I'm here the night before exam, thank you for explaining 😅

HERES THE WHOLE THING WRITTEN IF ANYONE NEEDS IT :>
(had to do it for my own studies so yeah, some are rephrased/paraphrased & there might be some mistakes)

Formation Of A Tropical Cyclone

There are three basic stages in the life of a tropical cyclone: its original source, mature stage and a dissipation stage where it dies out. they occur in a continuous process not as separate in distinct stages. Each stage may occur more than once during the life cycle as the strength of the cyclone rises and falls. It may reach land and weaken then go back out to sea where it strengthens once more. Formation of a cyclone depends upon the following conditions of a cyclone coinciding a large still and warm ocean area with surface temperature exceeding 26.5°c over an extended period, allowing body of warm air to develop above the ocean surface.

Low altitude winds are also needed to form a tropical cyclone as air warms over the ocean it expands, becomes lighter and rises other local winds blowing to replace the air that has risen then this air also warms and rises. The rising air contains huge amount of moisture evaporated from the ocean's surface as it rises it cools condensing to form huge clouds 10 km up in the troposphere more air rushes and rises drawn by the draft above rising drafts above to carry moisture high into the atmosphere so the clouds eventually become very thick and heavy condensation and releases the latent heat energy stored in the water vapour providing cyclone with more power creating self-sustaining heat.

Cycle drawn upwards by the new release of energy the cloud grows up-to 12-15 km high. Rotation on a tilted axis the Coriolis effect causes rising air to spiral around the centre of the cyclone.

At this stage the cyclone matures and the eye of the storm is created as the air rises and cools some of the dense air descends to form that clear still eye as the cyclone rages around it. The eye wall (basically the middle part) where wind is the strongest behaves like a whirling cylinder. cyclone rotation: clock for southern hemisphere and anticlockwise for northern hemisphere.

The lowest air pressure is always in the centre, usually being 950 millibars or less. Earth's average surface air pressure is 1010 millibars. One of the lowest air pressures ever recorded was 877 millibars for typhoon Ida in the Philippines in 1958 where winds reached 300 km/hr.

Cyclone follows a pathway from its source driven by the global wind circulation as warm ocean waters feed its heat and moisture the cyclone continues to enlarge

I'm here after Cyclone Tauktae passed Mumbai & has made landfall in Gujarat. Thanks for the simple explanation with good animations. Wish we had such visual aids during our school times!

[aditiparikh]

So concise and well explained. Love the visuals. Kudos Team Clickview 👏

[citrusfruit]

This was actually perfectly clear and comprehensive. Thank you!

[maharashtraesters]

Excellent graphic description. Very educative

[ok-sushi]

Thank you for this! I am doing a project about cyclones so this really helps! :D

[jontowers]

Excellent video. To the point. Well done!

[captalfred]

One day to understand tropical revolving storms. Thanks for this informative video. 👌

[pavanimalik]

Thank you for this informative Video :) It helped a lot

[evecasey]

Thank you so much... way better than my teacher's notes which told us that "air evaporates"

[celiabennett]

I often wonder about storm formation, thanks for the info. Its the only natural disaster I'm drawn to.

[montygabriel]

Watched 3 videos before this one and this is the first one that is actually explaining it

[_perryperry]

we're once again experiencing a typhoon in our country the Philippines and this one, i guess from my experience and knowledge, is the first time a typhoon has struck the whole country because of its unique pathway, it has managed to struck every part of the philippines

[shimnachoorakkatt]

Thank u I had a very difficult time understanding cyclones this helps Soo much

[alfinfrancis]

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks a lot.

[kristencook]

Very Interesting! Thank you very much!

[manaiahalafihi]

This is very logical and relevant information!

[candicenathalieserrano]

This information helps me to my Science project! Thank you so much for the information!

So basically earths rotation causes winds to swirl, they only thing that requires is high columns of air rising up and up and earth will do the job.
