Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
Cyclone formation is also known as cyclogenesis. There are several kinds of cyclogenesis. Usually cyclogenesis is used with reference to most cyclone patterns; however, if reference to tropical cyclones is intended, it is called tropical cyclogenesis. In the case of tornadoes, it is instead called tornadogenesis.
