Question

Which of the following best explains how a hurricane can increase an area’s susceptibility to future storms?

a.

Storm surges cause massive damage to buildings along coastlines.


b.

Hurricanes often flood coastal communities.


c.

Hurricane strength winds cause large amounts of property damage.


d.

Erosion caused by hurricanes can leave coasts more exposed to storms

Answer 1

Answer: d. Erosion caused by hurricanes can leave coasts more exposed to storms

Step-by-step explanation:

Hurricanes are the storms which forms over the warm oceans due to high speed wind currents that blows over the land. The potential threats associated with the hurricanes will include the heavy rainfall, tornadoes and landslides. It will cause major erosion of the landforms making them fragile and weak and susceptible to damage when exposed to further storms.

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is:

d. Erosion caused by hurricanes can leave coasts more exposed to storms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Important erosion, rapture, and removal of solids happen through storms. Beach erosion is a typical consequence of the high waves that transpire when hurricanes pass onto land. The decline of sand makes the beach to grow narrower and deeper in elevation. Storm loops take the sand offshore, keeping and depositing the sediment in great sandbars.
