Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A: Most cyclones cause widespread damage in coastal areas.

Reason R: Energy of most cyclones increases after landfall.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Key Points
Assertion A: Most cyclones cause widespread damage in coastal areas.

• Cyclones are a phenomenon that happens due to a low-pressure area surrounded by swift inward air circulation. 
• There are two types of cyclones: Tropical cyclones and Extra-Tropical cyclones. 
• Coastal areas are more susceptible to destruction from tropical cyclones.

Thus, Assertion is correct but R is not correct

Reason R: Energy of most cyclones increases after landfall.

• Tropical cyclones originated in the region between the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer.
• Extratropical cyclones are known to originate in polar regions, but they also occur in temperate zones and high-latitude regions.
• Tropical cyclones usually lose strength quickly over land because they are cut off from their main supply of energy. 

So, Reason  is not correct. 

Therefore, A is correct but R is not correct.
