Tropical Revoling Storms
-

-
1) Warm air from thunder storms rises and creates a low
pressure field underneath 2) Trade winds spin the storm due to the earth's rotation 3) More air is sucked up building up in size and cold air is sucked downwards. 4)The storm begins to move and picks up more warm moist air. 5) The eye has calm winds surrounded by a spinning wall of high winds and heavy rain

Due to the Low Pressure Field underneath the Storm is sucks up water and this is called a Storm Surge
