Consider the following statements with regard to cyclones:

1) The centre of Tropical cyclone is characterized by extremely low pressure. There is no temperature variation in their different parts.

2) Normally Tropical cyclones move from east to west under the influence of trade winds and they mainly occur in summer.

3) Temperate Cyclones always travel from west to east and are produced only in winter.

4) Extratropical cyclones have cold air at their core, and derive their energy from the release of potential energy when cold and warm air masses interact.

Explanation:

The centre of Tropical cyclone is characterized by extremely low pressure.
Normally Tropical cyclones move from east to west under the influence of trade winds and they mainly occur in summer.
Temperate Cyclones always travel from west to east and more cyclones are produced in winter than in summer. (not only in winter)
Extra-tropical cyclones have cold air at their core, and derive their energy from the release of potential energy when cold and warm air masses interact. These storms always have one or more fronts connected to them, and can occur over land or ocean.
