CICLONE:

A tropical cyclone is a meteorological term used to refer to a storm system characterized by a closed circulation around a center of low pressure and producing strong winds and heavy rain. Tropical cyclones derive their energy from the condensation of moist air, producing strong winds. They are distinguished from other cyclonic storms such as polar lows by the heat mechanism that feeds the storm systems becomes "warm core". Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone can be called tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane, typhoon or simply cyclone.
