Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Land subsidence is not typically a direct effect of hurricanes. While hurricanes can cause high winds, storm surges, flooding, and mudslides due to their intense rainfall and powerful winds, land subsidence is usually a gradual process caused by the removal of underground water, oil, natural gas, or mineral resources, or by natural compaction of soils and sediments over time, rather than by the immediate impact of a hurricane.
