Falling action happens right after the climax when the major problem of the story is resolved. Falling action concludes the narrative, completes its loose ends and leads to closure.
EXPLANATION:
The falling action happens after the climax and is the opposite of the rising action. Instead of a set of events that raise the intensity, a falling action is a set of events that follow the main conflict and indicate a fall, good or bad. The falling action is the connective network between climax and resolution, showing how the main moment to the storyline ends.
Generally, falling action shows the results of the climax. The story will lead in a dissimilar direction as a direct consequence of the decisions made during the climax. Therefore, the falling action illustrates how those decisions influence the character going forward.
Falling action will usually reduce tension dramatically after the moment of climax. This does not mean that it has no dramatic conflict or tension, only that it is directed in a different direction. The momentum of the story no longer moves quickly to the moment of confrontation but moves towards conclusions. New difficulties are less likely to be presented, at least not complications that will increase stakes or alter the direction of the story; by the time the plot goes to the falling action, the ending follows.
