Question

In Galveston, the beaches are often exposed to hurricanes originating in the Gulf of Mexico. It is reasonable to predict that hurricane activity may -A create new rivers near Galveston. B move sand from the beach to offshore sand bars. Cause local earthquakes after the storm. D create new river deltas along the beaches.

Answer 1

B move sand from the beach to offshore sand bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The offshore sand bars are coastline ridges of sand generated by the action of the waves. The hurricane activity causes dune erosion and generates waves that form offshore sand bars, where accumulated sand is washed out to deeper water. The sand that is pushed by hurricane waves can be evidenced by analyzing the resulting profile of the dune.
