What is the difference between tropical and extratropical cyclones?

What are effects of cyclone?
Causes and Effects of Cyclone in Points Tropical cyclones trigger serious rainfall and landslides. They cause serious damage to towns and villages. Also, they destroy coastal companies, such as shipyards and oil well. When these hurricanes blow far inland, human settlements are causing a lot of devastation.
Why is it called Tropical Depression?
As the heat energy is released from the cooling water vapor, the air at the top of the clouds becomes warmer, making the air pressure higher and causing winds to move outward away from the high pressure area. When the winds reach between 25 and 38 mph, the storm is called a tropical depression.
What is cyclone and its causes and effects?
Cyclones are wind storms accompanied with heavy rainfall at low-pressure areas. They are caused due to a continuous process of rising of hot air over the ocean surface. This vacant space is then occupied by the cool air around, which further heats up and rises.
What are types of cyclone?

- Tropical cyclones; and.

When was National Hurricane Center created?

Where do cyclones form?
Tropical cyclones form in the north Atlantic, northern Pacific Ocean, southwestern Pacific, and Indian Ocean. They may rarely form elsewhere in the world. The Atlantic Ocean has around ten hurricanes each year.
