The destruction of dense mangrove forests in coastal regions intensifies the destructive impact of which water-cycle-related event or process?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cyclone-driven surface runoff and storm surges

Correct answer: B. Mangrove forests grow along coasts and form a dense network of roots and stems. This natural barrier slows moving water, traps sediment, reduces shoreline erosion, and absorbs part of the energy carried by waves and cyclone-driven storm surges. When mangroves are removed, coastal water can travel farther inland with greater force, and flooding, erosion, and damage from runoff become more severe. A slow evaporation is not the main consequence described. C underground percolation is movement of water into soil and is not the event protected against here. D mountain snowfall is unrelated to coastal mangrove belts. A useful cue is: mangroves are living coastal shields, especially during storms.
