What is environmental impact of tropical cyclone? 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. Even well inland, heavy rainfall can lead to landslides in mountainous areas.
If you could drop Mount Everest (height: 8848 m) to the bottom of an ocean trench, would its summit reach the level of the ocean's abyssal plains? No, the Abyssal Plain is 4500 m down.
