What is the difference between a storm and a cyclone?
Storm :
It is an event in the environment in which strong winds blow accompanied by heavy rainfall, thunder and lightning. Thunderstorms occur in hot and humid tropical regions mainly. These regions generally have higher temperatures which cause winds. These hot winds have water vapour within them. The winds move upward and the water vapour condenses and falls on the earth's surface as rain. The rainfall and rising air create lightning in the air accompanied by sound and as a result, a thunderstorm occurs.
Cyclone :
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm. Cyclones are caused by low-pressure areas. When a low-pressure area is formed, a large air mass from surroundings, come towards the center of low atmospheric pressure. This creates inward spiraling winds that rotate about the zone of low pressure.
