Tropical Cyclone: a 3D model for Class 8 Science, covering A tropical cyclone is a very large rotating storm system, hundreds of kilometres wide, not a narrow tornado funnel, Warm ocean water supplies heat and moisture, but warm water alone is not enough to form a cyclone, Air pressure is lowest at the centre; near the surface, air spirals inwards towards it, North of the equator the surface winds spiral in anticlockwise (seen from above); south of it they spiral in clockwise, Moist air rises in the eyewall; condensation releases heat that powers the storm.
