What are the components of a typhoon?

Typhoon is a strong tropical cyclone in the Pacific Ocean, which belongs to a warm low-pressure system. The structure of typhoon can be divided into three parts: gale area, vortex area and eye area. The windy area is the peripheral part of the typhoon, and the wind force is mostly between 6 and 12. When the windy area approaches, the clouds thicken and increase, the air pressure drops, the temperature rises, and the wind force strengthens. Vortex area is the main part of typhoon, the most destructive part and the strongest wind force. There is a strong updraft near the eye of the typhoon, forming a vertical cloud wall with a width of tens of kilometers and a thickness of 8 ~ 9 kilometers. There is a storm nearby, and the wind often exceeds 12. The eye area is the central part of the typhoon, because in the center of the cyclone, downward flow prevails. When the cyclone drives the surrounding air to rise, the air pressure in the central area decreases, and the air at the outer edge of the eye area rotates at a high speed, which makes the air move outward, and the air in the eye area also flows outward, so that the air flow in the high air flows to the eye area to supplement and form the downward flow. So when the eye area comes, the strong wind stops, the clouds disappear and the rain disappears, and the weather is calm and sunny. But when the eye area moves, there will be stormy weather again. When the typhoon comes, the weather is bad, there are violent storms and stormy waves. A powerful typhoon can knock down trees, blow down houses and destroy crops, which seriously threatens people's lives and property. At present, with the development of science and technology, the law of typhoon occurrence, development and movement has been mastered. When a typhoon comes, it can be predicted in time and accurately, thus effectively reducing the harm of typhoon.
