COSTAL FLOODS
Coastal Floods: Occur along coastal areas. Hurricanes and tropical storms, which will produce heavy rains, or giant tidal waves, created by volcanoes or earthquakes, ocean water may be driven onto the coastal areas and cause coastal floods.
Coastal flooding can result from a variety of different causes including storm surges created by storms like hurricanes and tropical cyclones, rising sea levels due to climate change and by tsunamis.
