Formation of cyclones

---

Didactic illustration showing the formation of cyclones that are born in the tropics. Hot water causes upward movements of air with moisture, accentuated by cloud formation. On the surface is created a zone of depression which attracts air masses (convergent winds) .. The force of Coriolis causes a wind winding and the cyclone's movement towards the West.
