Humans induce Cyclones by heating up ocean waters and by inducing global warming. As ocean waters heat up cyclones will have a larger location to happen and they will have more heat and energy from the ocean`s surface to make the cyclones last for longer and be stronger.

Humans respond to Cyclones/ Geomorphic hazards in several ways. The steps they take are, 1) The immediate reaction, when the cyclone/ geomorphic hazard has occurred and the victims need aid. 2) Control, when the cyclone/ geomorphic hazard has occurred and the aid workers are on scene, and need extra help and transport for the critically injured patients. After math and prevention, after the cyclone/ geomorphic hazard has occurred and our leaders and meteorologists look at what went wrong and how to prevent the cyclone/ geomorphic hazard in the future.

Cyclones are a very interesting but destructive geomorphic hazard that occurs over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. Geomorphic hazards are the result of sudden changes in long-term geomorphic behavior.

A cyclone is almost the same as a typhoon and hurricane the only difference is, the location of where the storm forms. Cyclones are also categorized by inward spiraling winds that rotate in a zone of low pressure. Cyclones are caused by high ocean temperatures. A cyclone is broad-scale wind systems and clustered thunderstorms that liberate heat and energy from the ocean`s surface which is then transferred into the cyclone to make it stronger and it will get stronger and stronger until it has no more energy and will disappear. Cyclones will normally last between 3-7 days.
