Cyclone Formation and Dynamics by Slidesgo

A cyclone is a natural disaster characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and a low-pressure area, also known as hurricanes or typhoons depending on their location. Cyclones can cause significant damage to infrastructure, disrupt services, and lead to flooding and disease spread. They are measured by intensity and wind speed using scales like the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.
