Answer:

A hurricane near the coast would probably cause erosion.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A delta is usually formed by an aging river at the point where it meets the ocean. A moraine is formed by glacial action, not by a hurricane.
  • The plate movements are due to convection currents that are generated in the interiors of the earth.
  • As a hurricane approaches towards the coast, it loses most of its strength as the supply of warmth that the hurricane is fed with by the ocean water is cut off.
  • Thus, at most what a hurricane near the coast would cause is an erosion of some form.
