How Are Tropical Cyclones Formed
-
Formative - clouds start forming over the ocean between 5 and 15 degrees latitude from the equator.
-
Immature - if the conditions are favorable, clouds collect and move with the winds that start rotating clockwise around a low pressure area. Winds start to increase in strength.
-
Mature - the cyclone reaches its peak of intensity and destructive power.
-
Decaying - the power of the cyclone decreases when it moves over land or pole ward over colder waters. In this decaying stage the winds often decrease rapidly and the cyclone eye and cloud patterns disappear.
Long Term & Short Term Solutions
These are solution to prevent flooding in Bangladesh, short term meaning for a flood which comes once or twice but long term is when it remains therefore 10-15 years. The solution which has been listed below will have a key of stars, the solution with the most stars is expensive whereas with not many stars meaning not so much expensive.
