Expert Answer:
A cyclone is a huge and powerful storm. It consists of a low pressure area with high pressure all around. High speed winds go around the centre violently and are accompanied by heavy rains.
Structure of a Cyclone
The centre of a cyclone is called the eye of the storm. This is a calm region.
The diameter of the eye varies from 10-30 km. This region is free of clouds and has light winds.
Around this clear eye there is a cloud region of about 150 km. In this region, there are high-speed winds and thick clouds with heavy rains.
As we move away from this region, the wind speed decreases.
