Cyclones are formed through a complex process that requires specific conditions. Warm ocean waters provide the initial energy source, causing the air above to warm and rise. As the warm air rises, it creates an area of low pressure near the surface. Surrounding air rushes in to fill this void, causing a rotation to develop due to the Earth's rotation. The rotating system gains strength and organization, forming a cyclone. These powerful storms are fueled by the heat and moisture from the warm ocean waters, and they can bring strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surges when they make landfall.
