Brief Explanations

Hurricanes are known for their powerful storm - surges. These surges are large walls of water pushed onshore by the hurricane's winds, causing extensive and widespread flooding. They can deposit sediment but not necessarily more than they remove. Hurricane wind gusts are extremely strong, not weak. And they can significantly alter landscapes through erosion, flooding, etc.

Answer:

Hurricanes have storm surges that cause widespread flooding.
