Which outcome occurs when a hurricane's translational speed significantly increases?

A)Enhanced coastal storm surge occurs
B)Reduced eye wall replacement cycles
C)Dissipation because of static instability
D)Decreased upper-level wind shear arises

💡 Explanation

An increased translational speed amplifies storm surge due to decreased time for water displacement; therefore, coastal surge rises, rather than dissipating, because the increased forward speed amplifies the wave setup, unlike effects from wind shear alone.
