Cyclones and storms are primarily caused by low atmospheric pressure systems that form over warm ocean waters.

Cyclones are characterized by low atmospheric pressure, not high atmospheric pressure.

Storm surge is the term used to describe the rise in sea level caused by a cyclone.

Tropical regions are most vulnerable to cyclones and storms due to their warm ocean waters and favorable atmospheric conditions.

The primary impact of cyclones and storms on coastal regions is flooding, caused by storm surge and heavy rainfall.

Increased tourism is not a potential consequence of cyclones and storms in coastal regions.

Restoration is the term used to describe the process of restoring coastal ecosystems after a cyclone or storm.

Encouraging the development of coastal tourism is not a measure that can be taken to mitigate the impacts of cyclones and storms in coastal regions.

Mangroves play a crucial role in protecting coastal regions from cyclones and storms by absorbing storm surge, reducing wind speed, and preventing erosion.

Increased economic activity is not a potential long-term impact of cyclones and storms on coastal regions.

Governments have a primary responsibility to provide disaster relief and recovery assistance, implement land use regulations, and educate the public about cyclone and storm risks.

Promoting sustainable fishing practices is not a potential adaptation strategy for coastal communities to cope with cyclones and storms.

International cooperation plays a crucial role in addressing the impacts of cyclones and storms on coastal regions by sharing resources and expertise, coordinating disaster response efforts, and promoting research and development.

Increased productivity is not a potential consequence of cyclones and storms on coastal ecosystems.

Managing the risks associated with cyclones and storms in coastal regions is challenging due to lack of scientific understanding, limited resources, and political and social barriers.
