Explanation

Depression and cyclonic storm are both classified as low pressure areas in meteorology. A depression is a region of atmospheric pressure that is lower than the surrounding areas, while a cyclonic storm represents a more organized low-pressure system with circulating winds. The naming convention varies by intensity and region but both refer to low-pressure systems.
