DBH 3 students have been working on natural disasters. You have analysed several cases and analysed the causes that triggered the disasters and their consequences. So you should be able to identify the three "cause and consequence" expressions in the following text taken from wikipedia. Can you find them? Leave a comment with your answers.
"Storm surges can be produced due to extra tropical cyclones, such as the "Halloween Storm" of 1991 and the Storm of the Century (1993), but the most extreme storm surge events occur as a result of tropical cyclones. Factors that determine the surge heights include the speed, intensity, size of the radius of maximum winds (RMW), radius of the wind fields, angle of the track relative to the coastline, the physical characteristics of the coastline and the bathymetry of the water offshore. The SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) model is used to simulate surge from tropical cyclones"
