Answer:

The clearing of coastal foresst magnify the impact of cyclones as there are no trees to slow down the flow of water and the water flows at extremely high speeds towards the civilsed areas.

Explanation:

With The effects of tropical cyclones include heavy rain, strong wind, large storm surges near landfall, and tornadoes. The destruction from a tropical cyclone, such as a hurricane or tropical storm, depends mainly on its intensity, its size, and its location. Tropical cyclones remove forest canopy as well as change the landscape near coastal areas, by moving and reshaping sand dunes and causing extensive erosion along the coast.
