A certain location experiences a severe hurricane. Which of the following will most likely happen in the location?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Increase in number of people displaced from their homes.

Explanation:

Hurricanes bring strong winds, heavy rain, and the threat of flooding or storm surge. During a hurricane, the wind speeds increase dramatically, and the hurricanes can even spawn tornadoes.

Soil erosion is not decreased, but rather increased drastically and entire beaches are often swept away by the winds and rains. If anything, air pollution over the urban area hit by the hurricane would be temporarily cleaned up by the storms.
