Spinning Wheels


No matter their name, these storms look like giant spinning wheels. They form over warm tropical waters. Some start off as fairly small storms, but they can grow into monsters.


Tropical cyclones can grow to be about 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) across. They can reach speeds of 300 kilometers (185 miles) per hour.
