Which phenomenon amplifies coastal erosion during extratropical cyclones?

💡 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.
