Part 1 1.A)

 The tropical cyclones geographical process is formed by a simple thunderstorm. For these thunderstorms to match the strength of a simple cyclone, they have to have the cooperation from both the ocean and the atmosphere.
First of all, the ocean water itself must be warmer than 26.5 degrees Celsius or 81. The heat and moisture from this warm water is ultimately the source of energy for cyclones. Cyclones will weaken rapidly when they travel over land or colder ocean waters-locations where their heat and/or moisture sources do not exist.
Cyclones draw their energy from the warm surface water of the tropics and latent heat of condensation, which explains why cyclones dissipate rapidly once they move over cold water.
A tropical cyclone’s primary energy source is the release of the heat condensation from water vapour condensing at high altitudes, with solar heating being the initial source for evaporation. Therefore, a tropical cyclone can be visualised as a giant vertical heat engine supported by mechanics driven by physical forces such as the rotation and gravity of the Earth.
The tropical cyclones goes at high speeds like a tornado but the tropical cyclones is way worse than a tornado due to it having records of more destruction and pulverisation.
