A tropical Cyclone is defined as?
A strong rotating storm that causes heavy rain, and strong winds.
Water Vapor
The gas state of water, tiny water particles in their air, like steam

Types of Cyclone get their name because?
Particulate matter
Stuff in the air like dust, pollen, soot
What's the relationship between altitude, air pressure and atmospheric layers?
As altitude increase, air pressure decreases because most of the air pressure is closest to the earth
Which layer holds the ozone layer?
Stratosphere
What are the 2 things cloud types are based on?
Explain the circulation of air when a tropical cyclone is going to form? Hint: warm air vs cool air. What are their movements?
As warm air rises, cool air moves in to replace the rising warm air.
