Why do tropical cyclones produce such violent weather?
Tropical cyclones have tremendous amounts of energy. As the storms move, they release the energy in high winds and rain. Most cyclones have the destructive energy of several nuclear weapons.
What are the destructive forms of cyclone?
The most destructive cyclones are tropical cyclones, which in various parts of the world are called hurricanes and typhoons. Extratropical cyclones can also be destructive by producing strong winds and flooding. Both can produce severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Note that while tornadoes are destructive they technically are not cyclones even though they are often referred to as such.
What are the most powerful and destructive type of cyclones?
If you are referring to Fujita scale categories then the most powerful and destructive type of tornado is the F5 (EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale). These tornadoes can wipe even the strongest houses clean off their foundations. Fortunately tornadoes this strong are extremely rare.
What is the most powerful and destructive type of cyclones?
The most powerful type of cyclone is a strong tropical cyclone. They go by different names in different ocean basins. In the Atlantic and eastern Pacific they are called hurricanes, in the west Pacific they are called typhoons. In the south Pacific they are simply called cyclones. There are several scales for rating their strength, but they highest is a category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale with sustained winds over 156 mph (251 km/h).
What is the spatial distribution of tropical cyclones in Australia?
Most tropical cyclones in Australia actually occur in Chinatown. This part of Australia has dodgy air-conditioning so there is an extremely high chance of tropical cyclones to form in the poorly ventilated buildings of Chinatown
Where do cyclones occur the most?
Tropical cyclones are most likely to occur over warm and moist, (tropical) seas and oceans. they do move across seas and builds up, but when the cyclones hits the land it will slow down and will loose energy :) hope this helped :)
