How is a cyclone caused ? Which coastal region of India is cyclone-prone ?

Answer»

Cyclones are low-pressure areas that occur over warm ocean waters of temperate and tropical regions. Seen as swirling atmospheric disturbances they are accompanied by heavy rain, huge waves and powerful winds blowing at a velocity of 300 km per hour. Storm surges during the high tide, called storm tides, cause enormous damage to coastal regions. Cyclone-prone areas of India are West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
