Question

What are the potential effects of a hurricane? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Winds, flooding, storm surges, and heavy rainfall are the potential effects of a hurricane.


If the sea level begins to go up, it is called a storm surge, meaning that it was caused by the winds pushing it towards land, and also the suction that is created by the low pressure. Heavy rainfall and flooding go together. Mostly every hurricane brings terrible rainfall, which can be categorized as heavy and can also cause damaging flooding. The flooding is one of the deadliest issues when it comes to a hurricane. Winds can also be caused by a hurricane. A category 1 hurricane ranges around 74 - 95 mph wind, while category 5 ranges from over 155 mph wind.
