How does Bernoulli\'s principle helps in explaining cyclone

Answer» Bernoulli’s Principle states that the pressure exerted by a fluid decreases as its velocity increases. As the velocity of a fluid (or air in our case) increases, the pressure decreases so the static air inside the house has a higher pressure than the fast moving air outside, creating a pressure difference. As the wind speed increases, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the house (area above the roof) gets larger until it reaches a point where the pressure difference is sufficiently large enough to “pop” the roof off the top of the house. This is the reason why cyclones are able to swipe off the roof of a house due to its structure.
