Storm surge's are dangerous because it sweeps across the coast where the hurricane lands. As the hurricane comes onshore, the water comes with it,Storm surges can cause great damage, washing away beaches and destroying buildings across the coast
The height of the sea can reach levels that can damage coastal areas (Katrina in New Orleans in 2005).

Is an earthquake considered a storm?
No earthquake is not considered a storm. It is formed by the seismic waves.
Why is a beach a good defense against storm waves?
Beaches absorb and dissipate the energy of incoming waves, reducing the force with which they hit the coastline. The sloping nature of a beach causes waves to break further offshore, which helps in minimizing erosion and protecting coastal structures from damage during storms. Sand dunes and vegetation on beaches also play a crucial role in absorbing wave energy and reducing the impact of storm surges.
How can a coastal area have heavy waves on a clear non -stormy day?
Heavy waves on a clear non-stormy day in a coastal area can be caused by distant storms, underwater geological features, strong winds, or tidal changes. These factors can create swells that travel across the ocean and reach the coast, generating heavy waves even when the local weather is calm.
Are heavy waves caused by hurricane are called rip tide?
Heavy waves caused by hurricanes are not called rip tides. Waves causes by hurricanes are called waves. Rip tides are occur closer to the shore line.
What storm signals is the most dangerous and why?
A storm signal that indicates an extremely dangerous situation is a Category 5 hurricane. These storms have sustained wind speeds of 157 mph or higher, causing catastrophic damage to infrastructure and posing a significant threat to life and property. The combination of intense wind, storm surge, and heavy rainfall make Category 5 hurricanes the most destructive and potentially deadly type of storm.

How do large storm waves usually carry sand to the beach?
Large storm waves usually carry sand AWAY FROM the beach.
Do tornadoes produce huge waves or storm surges?
No, tornadoes do not produce waves or storm surges. Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that typically occur over land and do not form over bodies of water like oceans or seas where waves or storm surges are generated.
What kind of waves are seen in storm conditions?
The kind of waves produced during storm conditions are called destructive waves. The two parts of a wave are called the crest and the trough.
Is an earthquake considered a storm?
No earthquake is not considered a storm. It is formed by the seismic waves.
When may a storm not produced high-energy waves?
A storm may not produce high-energy waves when it is not accompanied by strong winds or when it does not have a significant fetch (distance over which wind can blow). Additionally, if the storm is not located in an area with a steep seabed, it may not generate high-energy waves.
What are the release dates for Frontline World - 2002 Burma One Year After the Deadly Storm?
Frontline World - 2002 Burma One Year After the Deadly Storm was released on: USA: May 2009
What kind of waves might be produced during storm conditions?
Rogue waves might be produced during storm conditions. They are also known as killer waves. They are waves whose height is more than twice the significant wave height.
How often do the Mavericks waves occur?
The huge waves come to Mavericks, California in the winter after a storm.
When wind waves move out of a storm area what happens?
As wind waves move out of a storm area, they will gradually lose their energy and decrease in size. The waves may travel long distances before finally dissipating. Wind waves that have moved out of a storm area can still impact coastal areas and shipping lanes, depending on their size and strength.

When may a storm not produce high-energy waves?
During storms, large, high-energy waves can erode the shore very quickly. These waves can break off large chunks of rock. Many of the features of shorelines are shaped by storm waves. Is this for your homework too?ha ha it's okay I don't mind. =D
