What is the difference between cyclones and tsunami?


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. 


Tsunami :

A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water. They occur generally in an ocean. They are caused by earthquakes or volcanoes under the oceans
