Question
Why do the cyclonic winds blow in a circular manner?
Short Answer
Solution
- Cyclonic wind conditions are created when a low-pressure area is surrounded by high-pressure areas.
- In these conditions, winds start blowing from all directions from the surrounding high-pressure areas towards the central low-pressure area. Therefore, the cyclonic winds blow in a circular manner.
