Tropical Cyclone and Small Circles
An essay on cyclone
A cyclone is a very violent storm. It never comes alone. Heavy showers of rain, thunder and lightning are its companions. When a cyclone blows, it moves round and round in the form of small circles. It always changes its course when it blows. It does not move in the same direction like an ordinary storm. It occurs mostly in the warm parts of the world. India is in this region of the world. Hence cyclones often blow over her. In cold countries there is no cyclone.
The signs of a cyclone
There are some signs of the blowing of a cyclone. A low pressure is created in the sea. The weather becomes very hot. There is not a breath of wind. Patches of dark clouds gradually spread in the sky. At last, the sky become dark. A storm sets in. The wind then begins to blow violently. From these we can understand that a cyclone will begin.
The actual cyclone
Then it rains very heavily. Flashes of lightning are seen. Thunders begin to peal loudly. The wind begins to blow furiously. It blows forward forming circles. There is a roaring noise. The wind continues to blow for some hours. Sometimes it continues for a day or two. Such terrible cyclones happened in September 1918 before the Pujas and in November 1988.
Its effect
The effect of the blowing of a cyclone is terrible. Big trees fall down. Roofs of houses are blown away. Many a house is destroyed. Many a man is killed. The water of the river rises. There are huge waves in the river. Many boats sink down. Many men are drowned. Sometimes steamers are also sunk. Everywhere dead bodies of men and beasts are found. Crops are destroyed. People suffer much. They become homeless and helpless. There is scarcity of food. Famine breaks out. This miserable condition of the people cannot be fully described. Other people then try to help them with money, food, medicine and clothes.
Conclusion
The cyclone is a terrible evil. Man has no power to prevent it. But people may be warned beforehand that there will be a

    Hurricanes can form very quickly and destroy communities in only a few days. Hurricanes are caused by warm, moist air being present over the ocean. The air rises up near the surface. The warm air rises so there is low pressure below. Air from nearby areas with higher pressure moves to areas with lower pressure. That air turns warm and moist and then rises. The surrounding air takes the place of that air. As the warm air cools, water in the air turns into clouds. The clouds and winds spin and grow, collecting the oceans heat and water from the surface (Erickson and Leon, 2017, p. 1-5). While the storm continues to grow it will reach different stages. At 38 miles per hour it is considered a tropical depression. Tropical depressions then become tropical storms and are given a name. Every six years a list of names is reused. These…

    The impacts can vary in severity due to a range of human and physical factors. Human factors include how urbanised the area affected is, as built up cities tend to have impermeable surfaces which increases run-off and therefore worsens the floods that occur. Torrential rain and flooding, along with storm surges and strong winds, are all hazards posed by tropical revolving storms. These hazards, similar to the storm, are inevitable and cannot be stopped from occurring but methods can take place to try and reduce the impacts. Physical factors are out of our control. The size of the storm affects how widespread the impacts are, as well as the duration of the storm and the intensity of the storm, also affecting certain areas. Preparation and preparedness are not the only methods that can be carried out. Monitoring and forecasting with the use of satellites and radar create computer models based on…

    A hurricane is an intense tropical storm with powerful winds and heavy rain, also known as a cyclone. Hurricanes and tornadoes are both storm systems that can cause a lot of destruction. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes but tornadoes generate faster winds. They both need warm and cold air to become a hurricane or tornado, but are different in the way they form. Hurricanes and tornadoes both have a calm area at the center called an eye. The eye of a hurricane is the calmest. The winds around the eye of the hurricane are the strongest and are called the eye wall. They can have speeds over 200 miles per hour. In a tornado the eye is a “weak-echo” region it does not reflect a radar beam. Hurricanes and tropical storms also known as (cyclones)…
