Cyclones are caused by the formation of low atmospheric pressure at the centre surrounded – by high pressure regions. Strong whirl winds blow towards such low pressure centres from the surrounding high pressure areas. Due to Coriolis effect, winds flow in the anticlockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
Anticyclones are phenomenon where strong whirl winds blow form the high pressure centres to the surrounding low pressure areas. Due to Coriolis effect, the pattern of wind is anticlockwise in Southern Hemisphere and clockwise in Northern Hemisphere.
