Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy from the evaporation of <a title=\"Water\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Water\">water<\/a> from the <a title=\"Ocean\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ocean\">ocean<\/a> surface, which ultimately <a title=\"Condensation\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Condensation\">recondenses<\/a> into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to <a title=\"Saturation (chemistry)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Saturation_%28chemistry%29\">saturation<\/a>. This energy source differs from that of <a title=\"Extratropical cyclone\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Extratropical_cyclone\">mid-latitude cyclonic storms<\/a>, such as <a title=\"Nor'easter\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nor%27easter\">nor&#8217;easters<\/a> and <a title=\"European windstorm\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/European_windstorm\">European windstorms<\/a>, which are fueled primarily by <a title=\"Baroclinic instability\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baroclinic_instability\">horizontal temperature contrasts<\/a>. The strong rotating winds of a tropical cyclone are a result of the (partial) <a title=\"Conservation of angular momentum\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Conservation_of_angular_momentum\">conservation of angular momentum<\/a> imparted by the Earth&#8217;s rotation as air flows inwards toward the axis of rotation. As a result, they rarely form within 5\u00b0 of the equator.<sup id=\"cite_ref-BAMS_Zhang_1988_1-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hurricane#cite_note-BAMS_Zhang_1988-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup> Tropical cyclones are typically between 100 and 4,000 km (62 and 2,500 mi) in diameter.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;tropical&#8221; refers to the geographical origin of these systems, which usually form over the <a title=\"Tropics\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tropics\">tropical<\/a> oceans. The term &#8220;cyclone&#8221; refers to their cyclonic nature, with wind blowing <a title=\"Clockwise and counterclockwise\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Clockwise_and_counterclockwise\">counterclockwise<\/a> in the <a title=\"Northern Hemisphere\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Northern_Hemisphere\">Northern Hemisphere<\/a> and clockwise in the <a title=\"Southern Hemisphere\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Southern_Hemisphere\">Southern Hemisphere<\/a>.
