WHAT IS A CYCLONE:
More than 22,000 people were reported dead and 41,000 more were
missing after a cyclone tore through the Southeast Asian country of
Myanmar late Friday night and early Saturday morning. Over 10
hours, winds traveling up to 150 miles per hour struck Yangon,
Myanmar's largest city, and dumped 20 inches of rain on the harbor
town, formerly known as Rangoon. According to published reports,
the country's foreign minister fears the final death toll may rise as
high as 50,000. That would make the storm -- Tropical Cyclone
Nargis -- one of Myanmar's most deadly natural disasters and the
second largest in the region after the tsunami of 2004, which took
nearly 200,000 lives.
Cyclone Types
1. Tropical Cyclones
2. Extratropical Cyclones
3. Subtropical Cyclones
A tropical cyclone is a warm-core, non-frontal low pressure system of
synoptic scale that develops over tropical or subtropical
oceans. Tropical cyclones tend to have a more circular shape with
spiral bands of showers and thunderstorms rotating around the center
of circulation. More intense tropical cyclones may develop a clear
area at the center known as an eye. Rising motion in the
thunderstorms near the center may create a cirrus canopy of
diverging air at the top of the circulation. Tropical cyclones may be
called tropical depressions, tropical storms, hurricanes or typhoons
depending on their intensity and location.
TROPICAL CYCLONES
CONCLUSION
My opinion based on the work I have done is that I have learned that a
Tropical cyclone can damage your life severely but overtime it will get
better, and it can be formed from a simple thunderstorm then gradually
draw more energy to itself to attain the name Tropical Cyclone a deadly
natural disaster/hazard like bushfires or floods. The interesting bit of all is
that from a simple thunderstorm you need cooperation from both the
ocean and the atmosphere to form a complete Tropical Cyclone which is
deadly no matter where it is because if it is in the ocean there will be big
waves cause by this hazard and if it were in a continent with people nearby
the wind which is fast will cause great damage to everything around it.
