Hurricanes are associated with high pressure gradients and consequent strong winds. These in turn generate storm surges. A storm surge is an abnormal rise of sea level near the coast caused by severe tropical cyclones like hurricane. As a result, sea water inundates low lying areas of coastal regions drowning human beings and livestock, eroding beaches and embankment's, destroying vegetation and reducing soil fertility.
Cyclone Tracy caused storm surges and intense rainfall, leading to flooding and erosion on the coastline. The storm also stirred up the ocean, impacting marine life and habitats in the area.
Cyclone Tracy had a significant impact on the hydrosphere by causing widespread flooding due to heavy rainfall and storm surges. The storm led to saltwater intrusion in coastal areas, impacting freshwater resources and marine ecosystems. The high winds and storm surges also increased coastal erosion and changed the coastline’s physical structure.
The erosion of sediments on the coastline in the Gulf of Mexico is mainly caused by factors such as wave action, storm surges, and sea level rise. Human activities like coastal development and the removal of natural barriers can also contribute to accelerated erosion.
For a hurricane to form, several key events must occur: warm ocean waters to fuel the storm, moist air rising and cooling to form thunderstorms, low wind shear to allow the storm to develop, and the Coriolis effect to give the storm its spin.
The general term for such a storm is tropical cyclone. However, they may be called tropical storms, hurricanes, typhoons, or simply cyclones depending on their intensity and where they occur.
when it reaches the coastline

One obvious affect is to salt the earth ... dumping millions of gallons of salt water far inland, thereby draining the fertility from the land.
This part of the coastline is badly eroded, due to the violent storm we had last week. I just love to see the coastline at sundown.
The cause of a storm is solar heating, the effect of a storm is to dissipate and distribute that heat round the planets biosphere.

No.
Hurricanes
Most likely Florida due to its heavy storm activity and surrounding, giant coastline.
Ten families were effected by the storm. The storm affected ten families.
No. A storm surge occurs when an intense windstorm such as a hurricane drives water onto land. Lake effect snow storms are not strong enough to produce a storm surge.
During a cyclone, the air in the center of the storm rises, cools, and forms clouds that lead to rain. Anticyclones bring clear skies, low winds, and dry weather.
