Cyclone need warm ocean water (at least 26.5 degree) to form and get their energy. This heat create moisture and rising air.
Warm, moist air rises quickly. This creates an area of low pressure near the surface.
Air from high pressure areas rushes towards the low pressure spot. This air is also warm and moist, feeding the system.
The Earth's rotation makes the moving air curve. This is called the Coriolis effect. It causes the system to start spinning.
The wind begin to spiral inward and upward. This rotation concentrates the low pressure. It forms a thunderstorm cluster.
As the storm strengthens, a calm centre, the eye, develops. The strongest winds are in the eyewall surrounding it.
The Cyclone grows stronger as long as it stays on water. It is powered by the release of latent heat from condensation.
When cyclone moves over land it loses it's heat source and storm begins to weaken and dissipate.
