What is the heavy waves of a hurricane called?
The heavy waves generated by a hurricane are known as "storm surges." These surges occur when strong winds push seawater toward the shore, causing water levels to rise significantly and leading to flooding in coastal areas. Storm surges can be extremely dangerous and are often one of the most destructive aspects of a hurricane. The height of the surge can vary depending on the hurricane's intensity, speed, and the coastal topography.

What two main factors affect the height of a hurricane's storm surge?
The height of a hurricane's storm surge is primarily influenced by the hurricane's intensity and the shape of the coastline. A stronger hurricane generates higher winds, which can push more water toward the shore, while the coastal topography and bathymetry can amplify or diminish the surge's impact. Additionally, factors such as the storm's forward speed and the alignment of the storm relative to the coastline also play significant roles.
