What do thunderstorms tornadoes and hurricanes affect?
Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes can all cause damage to vegetation and man made structure through their winds. Hurricanes and thunderstorms both produce rain, which can sometimes lead to flooding. It should be noted that hurricanes produce thunderstorms and thunderstorms, including those found in hurricanes, are what produce tornadoes.
Does the arctic tundra have droughts flooding or hurricanes?

Why is flooding a danger associated with hurricanes?
There are two causes of flooding in a hurricane. First, in coastal areas, there is something called the storm surge, when the hurricane's winds force the ocean water onto land. Second, hurricanes produce torrential rains that can cause flash floods. Both of these have the potential to cause drownings and even wash buildings away. 90% of people who die in hurricanes drown.
What factors make hurricanes and tornadoes hazardous?
90% of hurricane deaths are drownings. The most dangerous feature of a hurricane is the storm surge. This is a bulge on the surface at the ocean that can cause heavy coastal flooding. Hurricanes also produce torrential rain that can lead to landslides and more flooding. Hurricanes also produce very strong winds that can knock down trees and damage or destroy buildings. Finally, severe thunderstorms can form in the outer bands of a hurricane, wome of which can produce tornadoes.
Do hurricanes form waves?
Yes, hurricanes can generate large waves due to their strong winds and low pressure systems, particularly in the ocean. These waves can be extremely powerful and destructive, often causing coastal flooding and erosion.
Does a cyclone cause a flood?
Cyclones primarily cause flood through rain they produce. If an area receives more rainwater than can drain out of it in a given time, flooding will often result. Extratropical cyclones can also cause flooding when snow the produce melts. Tropical cyclones such as hurricanes can drive seawater onto land with their winds, causing coastal flooding.
What is the natural disaster that causes an excess of water?
Flooding or Hurricanes.
Why are hurricanes are dangerous?
The main threat from hurricanes is flooding. The winds of a hurricane can drive seawater onto land, producing what is called the storm surge. The storm surges of hurricanes have resulted in numerous injuries and have been known to wash away entire coastal communities. Further inland areas may suffer flooding from the heavy rain that hurricanes produce. This can also result in drownings. Finally, the winds of hurricanes are very dangerous. These winds can rip pieces away from buildings, turning them into deadly projectiles, and destroy trailers.
Hurricanes snowstorms flooding fall into this type of hazard category?
