Explanation:

Cyclones and Anti-cyclones, they both describe the action of air movement, though in
different directions. In the Northern hemisphere, cylcones (low pressure areas) have air
rotating in an anticlockwise direction. Conversely, anticyclones (high pressure areas), have
air rotating around them in a clockwise manner.
Major differences:
Cyclones
(i) It is an area of low pressure surrounded by high pressure.
(ii) Winds converge at the eye (central low pressure) of the cyclone, wind moves in a
spiral motion.
(iii) Stormy conditions prevail.
(iv) Winds blow in an anti-clockwise
direction in the Northern hemisphere and viceversa
in the Southern hemisphere.
Anticyclones
(i) It is an area of high pressure surrounded by low pressure.
(ii) Winds diverge from the central
high pressure to the surrounding
low pressure.
(iii) Light cool winds blow.
(iv) Winds blow in a clockwise direction
in the Northern hemisphere
and vice-versa in
the Southern hemisphere.
