What are the conditions required for cyclones to form ?

• Factors like temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and rotation of the earth, contribute to the development of a cyclone.
• Water vapors are formed when sea water is heated by the sun.
• This heat is released to atmosphere when water vapors convert to water during rains.
• The heat released, warms the air around and makes it to move up. This also results in decreased air pressure.
• Hence, cooler air from surrounding rushes to take the warm air’s place.
• This repeats till a low pressure system with surrounding high speed winds is created.
