Answer: Hypothesis: The impact of Tropical Cyclone Freddy resulted in significant damage and loss of life on the East Coast of Mozambique as well as in other affected countries. The cyclone's high wind speeds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges caused flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage, leading to displacement, injury, and loss of life. The hypothesis suggests that the extent and severity of the damage varied depending on the vulnerability of the affected areas and the level of preparedness and response of the governments and communities. Further analysis of the impact of Tropical Cyclone Freddy on the affected countries can help inform strategies for disaster risk reduction and management in the future.
