Storms: Understanding Extreme Weather Phenomena

The video tutorial explains storms, their formation, and types. It covers the effects of storms, how they are measured using the Beaufort scale, and the process of cyclogenesis. Different types of storms, including winter storms, tropical cyclones, and other storm types like sandstorms, dust storms, and tornadoes, are discussed. The video highlights the characteristics and dangers associated with each storm type.
