📘 Tropical Cyclones and Their Effects
(1)
Although their effects on human populations are devastating, tropical cyclones can relieve drought conditions. They also carry heat energy away from the tropics and transport it toward temperate latitudes, which makes them an important part of the mechanism. As a result, tropical cyclones help to maintain equilibrium in the Earth's troposphere and to keep a relatively stable and warm temperature worldwide.
