Why does sea level rise during a near-shore storm?
   a. Low atmospheric pressure of the storm permits sea level to rise.
   b. The winds stir the water in circles, so it rises in the center.
   c. High pressure in the storm forces the water up.
   d. Waves cluster together, so the average sea level is higher.
   e. The gravitational pull of the moon is stronger during a storm.

Question 2

Why does the beach slope under water become steeper near shore?
   a. The sand grains are finer near shore.
   b. The bottom has to rise rapidly to merge with the sand of the barrier island.
   c. Sand from the onshore part of the beach has to drop abruptly because offshore the sand is under water.
   d. Waves in shallow water drag on the bottom, so they lose energy and need a steeper slope to move the sand.
   e. The waves are bigger near shore.
