What is the major impact of typhoons on human settlements ?
Answer: C
The major impact is the destruction of infrastructure and displacement of people.
Typhoons, the name for tropical cyclones in the western Pacific, bring very strong winds, torrential rain, flooding and storm surges. They destroy houses, roads, power lines and crops, and force large numbers of people to leave their homes, often causing heavy loss of life.
They do not reduce humidity (they bring intense rain), improve agricultural productivity (they flatten crops and flood fields with salt water) or stabilise atmospheric pressure; a typhoon is itself a centre of very low pressure.
