Solution
High speed wind can cause cyclone in regions of low pressure.
Explanation:
Cyclones form in areas where the air pressure is lower than in the surrounding regions. The high-speed winds spiral towards the low-pressure center, causing the air to rise, cool and form storm clouds. This creates a rotating system of winds, resulting in a cyclone.
