Tropical Cyclones

A tropical cyclone is a particular type of low pressure system. Tropical cyclones are areas of warm, moist air rising rapidly. The upward flow of air is deflected by the Coriolis effect (winds deflected by the Earth's rotation), creating a rotation around a central core, known as the 'eye'.
