Answer 1

The term tropical cyclone is used to refer to a storm system characterized by a closed circulation around a low pressure center that produces strong winds and abundant rainfall. Tropical cyclones extract their energy from the condensation of humid air, producing strong winds. They are distinguished from other cyclonic storms, such as low polar ones, by the heat mechanism that feeds them, which turns them into "warm core" storm systems.
