Hurricanes. The storm surge is caused by high winds offshore pushing the water inland.
Hurricanes cause the most damage right at landfall when rain, winds, and storm surge have the greatest damage potential. After landfall the hurricane quickly weakens.
Yes, it is the most dangerous part of a hurricane.
Hurricanes can cause damage in a number of ways. The wind itself is strong enough to damage or destroy structures and topple trees. Hurricane waves can damage boats and harbors. This is enhanced by the storm surge, in which water is driven onto land by the wind, causing severe coastal flooding. At the same time, torrential rain from a hurricane can causes severe inland flooding. Soil loosened by heavy rain can cause landslides. The outer storm bands of a hurricane can contain severe thunderstorms capable of producing strong wind gusts, hail, lightning, and tornadoes.
The waves are so big, they crash on land and cause a flood.
No. Large waves and storm surges are a product of hurricanes.

Storm surges are formed during hurricanes.
much of hurricanes...cyclone also '''cause''' storm surges
Hurricanes cause the most damage right at landfall when rain, winds, and storm surge have the greatest damage potential. After landfall the hurricane quickly weakens.
Cyclones, particularly hurricanes and typhoons, create a bulge on the surface of water with their winds. This storm surge can cause heavy coastal flooding if the storm makes landfall.
Yes, it is the most dangerous part of a hurricane.
Typhoons cause damage through high winds and heavy rains. The storm surges from typhoons can also cause damage, as can the effects of loss of electrical power.
1. a big flood 2.tsunamis 3. and if oil gets leaked into the ocean lots of animals would die.
No. While tornadoes may cause the most severe damage of any type of storm, hurricanes cause a greater quantity of damage because they affect a much larger area.
When a hurricane approaches land, tremendous damage can occur in the built environment. The amount of damage depends both on the intensity of the storm and what it hits. A combination of winds, storm surges, and rain cause great damage to buildings, power lines, roads, and automobiles.
Generally, yes. Category 5 hurricanes produce the fastest winds and highest storm surges and thus can produce more damage than weaker storms.
