Cindy lives in Florida and has been watching the news carefully tracking the approaching hurricane. Ifit hits land, what willthe increased wave action MOST likely cause?

Question

coastal deposition

coastal striations

coastal erosion

coastal moraines

Answer 1

If a hurricane hits land, the increased wave action will most likely cause coastal erosion. The strong waves and storm surge associated with hurricanes can lead to the removal of sand and soil from beaches and coastal areas, resulting in erosion. Coastal deposition typically occurs in calmer conditions where sediments are laid down, rather than during violent weather events like hurricanes.
