Why did Cyclone Yasi form?

isabellaw22 — 2017-05-12 01:51:46 UTC

Cyclone Yasi formed in a Low Pressure System. The warm water evaporated and formed cloud whilst releasing heat energy. The release of heat during the evaporation process with the Earth's rotation makes the clouds spin.

Impacts of Cyclone Yasi

Cyclone Yasi impacted the environment, economy and socially. Cyclone Yasi destroyed most of the sugar cane and banana plantations. It also destroyed some national parks and rainforests. Socially, the cyclone enhanced their ability to prepare the townsfolk for cyclones. Socially, the cyclone destroyed lots of electricity poles so people that lived in the area couldn't make phone calls. Cyclone Yasi had a cleanup bill of $10 billion USD. More money was needed to repair town halls, houses etc.
