"Falling action" is a term that ought to be mostly self-explanatory; the action has passed the climax and is now "winding down" to the denouement.
the part of a literary plot that occurs after the climax has been reached and the conflict has beenresolved.
That is the "denouement", or short period after the climax, or point of greatest intensity, when the conflict is resolved.
The falling action within a book is generally what happens to the plot after the climax wherein the actions taken in the novel begin to wrap themselves up and the aftermath of them becomes clear. It is basically set up for the conclusion in the same way that rising action was the set up for the climax.
Falling action is the series of events that falls after the climax, the most exciting part of the story. These events lead up to the resolution, or end of the story.
