Its name is derived from the tropics and its cyclonic nature. The term "tropical" refers both to the geographical origin of these systems, which are formed almost exclusively in the intertropical regions of the planet, and to their formation in tropical air masses of marine origin. The term "cyclone" refers to the cyclonic nature of storms, with counterclockwise rotation in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Cyclones develop over large surfaces of warm water and when atmospheric conditions around a weak disturbance in the atmosphere are favorable. Sometimes they form when other types of cyclones acquire tropical characteristics.

Tropical systems are driven by directional winds towards the troposphere; if the conditions continue to be favorable, the tropical disturbance intensifies and an eye can develop, and they lose their strength when they enter the land or if the conditions around the system deteriorate they dissipate.

Tropical cyclones cause extensive damage to coastal areas while inland and highland regions are relatively safe from damage, they also produce torrential rains which in turn can cause floods and landslides and also cause storm surges in coastal areas and which depending on the geography they can produce extensive floods more than 40 km inland in extensive coastal plains and slopes.
