The primary purpose of a cyclone is to circulate air around a low-pressure center, creating strong winds and heavy rainfall. Cyclones form over warm ocean waters where heat and moisture are abundant. The warm air rises, leading to a drop in pressure at the surface, thus drawing in surrounding air to replace it, resulting in powerful winds. These weather systems can cause significant damage to coastal areas due to high winds, storm surges, and flooding. Cyclones play a role in redistributing heat and moisture in the atmosphere, affecting climate patterns in various regions.
