The relationship between tropical cyclones, typhoons, monsoons and storm surges

A tropical cyclone is a low-pressure vortex that occurs on the tropical or subtropical ocean. It is a powerful and deep tropical weather system. Generally speaking, it is the same as the vortex of water in a river. In the case of typhoons, the gas vortex becomes larger and faster, and to a certain extent it becomes a typhoon (hurricanes and typhoons have the same principle, which is what we call typhoons in Southeast Asia) , they like to call them hurricanes in the United States, but in fact they are all the same ~)

Monsoons are caused by the different degrees of heating and cooling between continents and oceans during the year. A range of winds whose direction changes regularly with the seasons is called monsoon. The southeast wind blows in spring and the northwest wind blows in winter. This is the monsoon! (A bit too simple, hehe)

Storm surges are generally caused by tropical storms (the most powerful tropical storms are severe tropical storms, and then typhoons, so typhoons are also tropical storms...) Tropical storms It will form a low pressure in its center, and the air pressure will decrease (think of a tornado, just flatten the tornado and expand it to be as big as a typhoon. The tornado will suck things because the center is very low low pressure, so typhoons, tropical storms Same thing.) Then it will suck the sea water, because the storm has a wide range (unlike a tornado, it is like a straw...

), it will not suck up the sea water, it will only raise the sea level, just like a rising tide, this is a storm surge, and then combined with strong winds, it will be like a tsunami, haha, the last thing that looks like a tsunami is a joke! ~
