Which risk increases for coastal communities under storm surge caused by tropical cyclones?

A)Enhanced salt water intrusion
B)Decreased beach sand deposition
C)Lowered freshwater lens recharge
D)Increased mangrove forest expansion

💡 Explanation

Enhanced salt water intrusion increases under storm surge because inundation allows saline water to penetrate into inland aquifers due to hydraulic gradient. Therefore, salt water intrusion is the primary risk, rather than deposition, recharge, or mangrove expansion which happens at longer timescales.
