In India, cyclone ends in two days, in America it takes many days – why?
Often the cyclones coming in india calm down in two-three days. An alert is also issued by the Meteorological Department before these storms arrive, but do you know that in America, these cyclones take many days to calm down. Yes, but the question arises that why does this happen? So let us know the answer to this today.
What are cyclones?
The question arises that what are cyclones? So let us tell you that a cyclone is a large-scale rotating storm that forms over a warm sea. It is a low-pressure area around which winds rotate at high speed.
Cyclonic storms in india and America
Let us tell you that india is a subcontinent and its geographical location affects the development and speed of cyclones. The Himalayan mountain range acts as a natural barrier in the north of India. When cyclones reach the coast of india, the high peaks of the himalayas raise the winds, which weakens the storm. Apart from this, most of America is a continent and there is no major mountain range on its coast. Therefore, cyclones can move forward for a long distance without any hindrance even after hitting the coast of America.
Difference in climate
india has a monsoon climate. Warm and humid winds during monsoon make cyclones more powerful. But at the same time, monsoon winds also help in weakening the storms. On the other hand, different types of climate are found in America. Some areas have dry climate while some areas have humid climate. In such a situation, the timing of cyclone storms depends on the climate. Also, weather systems in india keep changing rapidly. Monsoon winds, western disturbances and other seasonal events affect cyclone storms. On the other hand, weather systems in America are relatively stable. Therefore, cyclones remain here for a long time.
