Question

3 hurricanes do less financial damage, flood further inland, and displace more people when coasts are heavily developed a false b true

Explanation:

When coasts are heavily - developed, there are more structures and infrastructure at risk. This leads to greater financial damage from hurricanes. Also, development can disrupt natural water - absorption and flood - control mechanisms, causing less inland flooding to occur as water is more likely to be channeled and contained near the developed areas. And with more people living in developed coastal areas, more people are displaced. So the statement is false.

Answer:

A. False
