Could a hurricane form over the northern Atlantic off the eastern coast of Canada?

Yes, hurricanes can form in the northern Atlantic off the eastern coast of Canada, particularly during late summer and early fall when sea surface temperatures are warm enough to support their development. However, they are less common in this region compared to the tropical Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricane Andrew formed over water, as do all hurricanes.


Would it be possible for a volcano to form off the Atlantic cost of the US?

In the current geologic setting off the East Coast, there is no reason to believe that one could form. Although not impossible because the forces that can trigger volcanoes are not entirely understood, it is highly unlikely one could form. The reasons for this, unlike the pacific coast there is no active subduction on the East Coast to create volcanoes and drive a magmatic production process. There is also no known active hotspot along the East Coast. The problem for a volcano to form in this region goes back to there, doesn't seem to be any way for the East Coast of the United States geologically to sustain any form of magma production that could cause a volcano.


Why are hurricanes on the east coast?

For two reasons. First, hurricanes tend to travel westward, so Pacific hurricanes will general travel away from the U.S. Additionally, there are cold ocean currents off the U.S. west coast, which tends to suppress hurricanes. By contrast the ocean water along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts is much water, which is ideal for hurricanes.


What landform does the barrier islands line?

Barrier islands form a narrow strip of land parallel to the coast and separated from the mainland by a lagoon or bay. They serve as a protective barrier against ocean waves, storms, and erosion for the mainland.

What's the most significant type of erosion?

Water erosion, particularly from rivers and rainfall, is considered one of the most significant types of erosion as it has the ability to carve out landscapes, form valleys, and shape the Earth's surface over time.

What are three things that form from to erosion?

Three things that can form from erosion are valleys, sand dunes, and river deltas. Erosion occurs when natural forces like water, wind, or ice gradually wear down rocks and soil, reshaping the landscape over time.

Is erosion a process in the water cycle?

in a way .when water comes down in the form of precipitation it leads to processes such as erosion which is the washing away of the upper soil layer by rain water.
