Which factor has the greatest influence on beach erosion in a hurricane?
storm surge
A local rise in sea level near the shore that caused by strong winds from storms such as those from a hurricane?
A storm surge.
How will high tide and a full moon affect storm surge with Hurricane Sandy?
When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.
How did the moon affect the storm surge of hurricane sandy?
An almost full moon increased the height of the tide during Hurricane Sandy's storm surge. Homes were flooded with more than 4 feet of water in mere seconds.
What is used to measure storm surge?
Tidal gauges usually measure the storm surge.

storm surge
Did hurricane Rita cause a storm surge?
Yes. The storm surge from Hurricane Rita reached a height of 17 feet in some places and flooded areas still recovering from Hurricane Katrina.
How is the height and the effect of the storm surge predicted?
The storm surge for a hurricane or other type storm is determined mostly by potential wind speed and tidal movement. Other factor such as wind direction and shear also impact predictions.
What part of speech is storm surge?
"Storm surge" is a noun.

No. A storm surge is a bulge on the surface of a body of water created by a strong storm such as a hurricane. The storm surge can bring coastal flooding.
What is used to measure storm surge?

Can a storm surge result in a hurricane?
No. It's the other way around: a hurricane causes a storm surge.
What category hurricane has a stormm surge 9-12 feet?
Originally, a storm surge of 9-12 feet was listed for a category 3 hurricane. This association is no longer used as storm surge is influenced by more than just the sustained wind speed used to determine a hurricane's category.
Where is a storm surge located in relation to a storm?
A storm surge occurs over water. It is a rising of the sea as a result of atmospheric pressure changes and wind associated with a storm.
