    Warm air rises and cold air sinks causing pressure differences that drive wind patterns, with high pressure where air sinks and low pressure where air rises. Additional factors like sea surface temperatures, Coriolis force, and fronts can create conditions for cyclones bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms.

    Pressure difference causes

    wind

    Warm air rises - Low pressure

    Cold air sink - High pressure

    High pressure - Low pressure


    Large Sea Surface temperature

    Coriolis force
    Favourable conditions Cyclone
    Small variation in vertical wind speed

    Pre-existing weak LP area

    During cyclone, Cumulonimbus clouds


    are formed & causes heavy rain &
    thunderstorms

    Cyclone at High Latitudes are caused


    due to Frontogenesis

    Land & Sea breeze

    Local wind

    Wind

    Geostrophic winds

    winds that blow parallel to isobars Isobars

    line connecting the points having same
