It is caused by a difference in temperatures between different ‘ regions on the Earth. This temperature difference occurs mainly because of the uneven i heating of different parts of the Earth’s surface by the sun.

What Is A Cyclone And How It Is Formed
What Is A Cyclone And How It Is Formed Cyclones (or hurricanes) develop over the warm moist waters of the oceans near the equator. The water heats up the atmosphere above it. Warm air rises and cooler air from the surroundings rushes in to take its place. This results in a number of small thunderstorms over the ocean. All these small storms then merge into one complex … [Read more...] about What Is A Cyclone And How It Is Formed
