🔍 Key Concepts

• Storm surge and how it relates to hurricanes • Effect of barometric pressure on sea level • Difference between rainfall effects vs. wind-driven water movement

💭 Think About

• Think about what physically pushes or pulls large volumes of seawater toward the coast during a hurricane. • Consider whether rain falling from above can significantly raise ocean level over a wide area, or if something else must move that water. • Ask yourself how low pressure and strong winds around a hurricane’s eye affect the ocean surface height.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option is directly tied to strong onshore winds and low pressure associated with hurricanes? • Which factor can raise sea level over many miles of coastline, not just create local flooding? • Eliminate choices that mainly affect weather in the atmosphere without directly piling up water against the shore.
