A storm of swirling air with a low-pressure center

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a crowded party, and someone drops a tray of snacks in the middle of the room. Just like people rushing toward the snacks create a swirling crowd, a cyclone forms when air rushes toward a low-pressure center. In both cases, the movement is driven by the attraction to the central point—hungry guests seeking food at the party mirror air molecules moving toward the low-pressure area, resulting in a whirl of motion around that core.
