The Causes of Cyclone As an Area of Closed, Circular in the Same Direction
A cyclone is really a kind of storm but, unlike a storm, which is a local happening, a cyclone can cover thousands of square kilometers. In a cyclone the winds blow towards the centre of an area of low air pressure. They blow in a spiral or circular fashion because they are made to turn by the rotation of the earth. Cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere move in a counter clockwise manner, while those in the Southern Hemisphere move in the same direction as the hands of a clock, that is, clockwise. In tropical regions cyclones may develop enormous strength. They are really the most destructive of all storms because they destroy houses and crops and damage everything that lies in their path. Cyclones always start over an ocean and usually move across open water. They sweep over islands and peninsulas and frequently move along a coast, bringing disaster to any towns or villages located in the area. Sometimes they cause huge waves that flood towns close to the shore.
