A flood is made by loads of rain which is non-stop. The drains are blocked and the rivers burst (they overflow with that much rain!) It destroys all of the houses in the floods area and could kill the locals of the area. Overall floods are just terrible. To stop a flood put sandbags in front of the door.
Most floods in some parts of the world are caused by rapid spring snow melt or storms that bring heavy rains over a large region. Rising sea levels from global warming are also causing flooding in low lying coastal areas.
More precipitation (rain, snow) than runoff results in local flooding. Agricultural and forestry practices can greatly affect the capacity of land to hold water. Cutting all the trees in an area will cause "unnatural" water levels below and on the ground.
In regions such as Australia where melting snow does not cause floods, they can be caused by excessive rainfall resulting from severe storms (a common cause of flash floods), cyclones that degenerate into depressions, or seasonal monsoons. These may dump large amounts of rain in river catchments, and slowly, these floods continue for thousands of kilometres through Australia's complex river systems. Because inland Australia is so flat, these "slow onset" floods can be hundreds of kilometres wide across the flat land.
In low-lying areas of Asia, flooding is caused by high tides and storm surges associated with wild weather. The flooding in these areas is intensified because large numbers of people live along the coast and rely on the oceans for their livelihood. When storm surges, tidal waves and even minor tsunamis occur, it swamps tens of thousands of homes and farms.
Different places have their own reasons of flooding. The major source of flooding includes human factors and natural causes.
Natural causes
Lack of lacks to regulate the river flow is one of the factors. Lakes act like a large water tank to store up excess water. Silting in river channels make the river beds shallower and storage capacity will be reduced. When there's heavy rain, the river may not able to store up all the water and flooding will occur. Heavy and continuous rain and typhoon are also the causes. Typhoon can push sea water on to the coastal areas and creates storm surge. Countries which are influenced by monsoon winds receive large amount of rainfall in summer, also the snow melt water from the surrounding mountains will go downward as well.
Human factors
People cut trees for developing makes the land surface lose the protection of vegetation and less vegetation are left to absorb the rainwater. Then silting will be more serious and rainwater is washed into the rivers more quickly. Wrong farming methods and overgrazing also speed up loss of soil. Some farmers reclaim along the shore of rivers will reduce the capacity of rivers.
Floods are caused by heavy rains that pour to much in rivers or waterways.
High rainfall or smowmelting can cause seriousflooding.
Flood is caused by many things:
1. Heavy rain
2. Bursting pipes
3. Ice bergs from the oceans melt and come on land
4. Sewage blocked
The Thames can flood, but the waters are contained by the Flood Barrier at Woolwich
No you butra there was no flood on Mars.
A Flood.... I think.
there is 896 square kms of flood plain
Too much precipitation causes the flood.
no
Your mom. The reason is your mom.
shait the season of inundation when the flooding occurs

You would have to purchase a separate policy. Flood is not covered on a homeowners policy and the flood program is set up by the government. Usually, the reason that people get flood insurance is because their mortgagee requires that you have it. If you are located in a flood plain, you can obtain a flood policy. A flood plain is an area that is deemed to have flooded in the past 100+ years. See your insurance agent about getting a flood insurance policy if you need one. Be aware, flood policies are offered by other companies as well as the government program. Also, flood coverage does not go into effect for thirty (30) days after you take out the policy. This prevents people from running to get a policy when a flood is already eminent.
The Itaiupu Dam was made to stop the water from flowing. The other reason was to lower the risk of a flood.
Same reason why you don't drown in rain. The water doesnt go inside you and if there was a flood it could drown
There is no specific reason to why rainbows were made, but if you belive in God it's God's promise to never flood the earth again.
Genesis 6:5 says GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth. God then decided to destroy man, because he repented that he made them.We know there was never a world-wide flood as described in the Bible; in fact there are good reasons to say that such a flood would be impossible. It is not yet certain, but it seems likely that the story of Noah's Ark and a similar flood story in the Epic of Gilgamesh were both based on folk memories of the inundation of what is now the Black Sea at the end of the Younger Dryas, around 5600 BCE. Archaeologists are searching the area of the Black Sea for further evidence and may soon confirm that this inundation was the flood on which the biblical story is based.
no flood control would be stoping a flood a flood plainis land that is covered by water during a flood,formed from sediments depsited by a river
An assembly of gods started the flood in the Gilgamesh flood epic.
A flood is when the water comes out of its normal path.
