Why have both the landform and climate patterns in the Coastal South made this region so susceptible to damage by environmental hazards over the years?
What will be an ideal response?
The Coastal South's topography is flat, with poor drainage and heavy rainfall. As a result, there are many swamps, lakes, and coastal marshes that are prone to flooding. The Coastal South is also the most thunderstorm prone region in North America, with lightning strikes killing more than 200 people a year. In addition, some of the most destructive hurricanes in history have struck this region.
