Storm surge and large waves produced by hurricanes pose the greatest threat to life and property along the coast. Storm Surge is an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm's winds. Storm surge can reach heights well over 20 feet and can span hundreds of miles of coastline.
When two forces act towards each other from opposite sides, rock layers are bent into folds. The process by which folds are formed due to compression is known as folding. Folding is one of the endogenetic processes; it takes place within the Earth's crust.
Flat folding. 1  Maekawa's theorem: at any vertex the number of valley and mountain folds always differ by two. It follows from this that every vertex has an even number of creases, and therefore also the regions between the creases can be colored with two colors.
