multiple - choice question
what do you think is special about the geography of mississippi in term of its vulnerability to hurricanes?
it is flat terrain, so it is susceptible to storm surges
it has mountainous terrain that blocks hurricanes and keeps the storm along the coast
it is further south than the other american states so closer to where hurricanes form
Flat terrain allows storm - surges to travel further inland during hurricanes. Mississippi's flat landscape makes it highly vulnerable to the destructive power of storm - surges associated with hurricanes. Mountainous terrain would tend to disrupt hurricanes, and Mississippi is not the southernmost state.
