A tropical cyclone with a circulating wind speed of less than 60km/hr, is called tropical 8. If.an area is directly hit by a tropical cyclone, this area will experience : lossof____ and of properties. j Activity 2 - Categorizing Tropical Cyclones Tropical cyclones can be categorized based on the speed of their circulating winds. When. the circulating wind has a speed of less than 60 kmv/hr., a tropical depression develops. If the wind speed increases beyond 60 to 118km/hr., ‘the depression becomes a tropical storm. If the wind speed increases to 200 km/hr, the tropical storm becomes a typhoon. And if the maximum circulating wind is greater than 200km/hr., then the typhoon becomes a super typhoon. Based on the information above, construct a concept map showing the categories of a tropical cyclone. Refer from the words or phrases given in the box. can be classified according to speed of circulating winds 23
