how tropical cyclones form into a storm?

• Warm water evaporates, rising to the atmosphere, forming clouds. When enough heavy clouds form, it falls back to the surface as rain.

• In the warm, open seas just off the equator, the water is considerably warmer; so is the air. The warm air helps the also-warm water evaporate faster; and this hot, moist mass of air would go up, following the basic tenet that “warm air goes up, cool air goes down.”

• Up in the air, the water vapor cools down and condenses, and the heat is released back to the air; this heat makes the air lighter, making it move further up.

• It then triggers air from outside the system to go inward, then upward, towards the system. This air flow helps more water to evaporate, joining the clouds and precipitation already massing up in the air.

• If the process continues, energy and precipitation accumulate further, and the winds speed up.

• Once the winds reach a certain speed, it then becomes a tropical cyclone.Air, water, and temperature
