Question

What is the ultimate cause of a tropical cyclone? Explain the formation of a tropical cyclone.

Answer 1

Heating caused by the sun is the major cause of tropical cyclones.

• Due to the heat of the Sun, the surface waters in the tropical zone near earth's equator gets warmed up.
• This change in temperature causes movement of air in the Earth's atmosphere.
• This movement of air causes pressure changes in the atmosphere in such a way that very high speed tropical cyclone form in that region.
