← GeographyWhich phenomenon amplifies coastal erosion during extratropical cyclones?
A)Storm surge intensification Coriolis effect✓
B)Orographic lift moisture trapping
C)Rain shadow enhanced wave action
D)Albedo reduction surface temperature rise
💡 Explanation
Storm surges intensify near coasts during extratropical cyclones because the Coriolis effect deflects winds, enhancing storm surge amplitude; therefore, coastal erosion increases, rather than temperature rise or rain shadows which are climate-based phenomena.
