Which best describes the effects of hurricanes?

Answer
A
Hurricanes tend to deposit more sediment than they remove.
B
Hurricanes have storm surges that cause widespread flooding.
C
Hurricanes have wind gusts that are fast but generally weak.
D
Hurricanes do not alter landscapes significantly.

Explanation

Hurricanes can push seawater onto land, creating storm surges that flood coastal areas. This flooding can be widespread and damaging. Hurricane winds are powerful, and hurricanes can also reshape landscapes, so the other choices do not describe their effects accurately.
