A flood can be caused by many events such as intense rainfall. Intense rainfall can also cause the overflow of lakes and rivers. If a large mass of snow melts all at once it can also cause a flood.Floods usually result from excessive rainfall or from rough waves along coastal lowlands, and is either clogged or baked up. Floods are also caused by erosion.Though floods can be caused by heavy rains, ice melting, snow, air pressure and wind blows.Though the three main things that cause floods are high tides, low air pressure and wind blow,Hurricanes, rise in sea levels, blocked underground surfaces on a rainy day, tsunami (tidal wave/rogue wave).
There are several things that cause rainfall fluctuations. Two things that will cause rainfall to vary is the location and temperature.
A cloudburst
physical causes of a flood could include; - monsoons (heavy rainfall for a long period of time) - low lying land e.g bagladesh so the water has no place to drain to - snow melting off of close by mountains, increasing volume of water
If we clean the rivers frequently then during heavy rainfall rivers will be able to hold more water than before. Thus, control the flood
Yes. Excessive rainfall is the most common cause of flooding.
Yes, excessive rainfall can cause flooding. The water has to go somewhere, and if the rainstorm is widespread enough and long enough, the water may overflow the river channel and flood wide areas. In his book "Life on the Mississippi", Mark Twain described sailing his steamboat across large areas of Mississippi farmland to rescue stranded people. Almost every year, the rains and snowmelt in the northern midwest cause floods on the Red River in North Dakota.
The Euphrates floods simply because of excessive rainfall usually. It is normally in patterns as well. Many times build up of sediment can cause the flow to become slower and result in flooding.
The WATER CYCLE and A repetative statement of evaporation.
The actual cause of a flood is the arrival of excessive rainfall in the river headwaters. This may be exacerbated by landslides, which impound the waters further and give way catastrophically. Often in the headwaters, the rain-holding capacity has been damaged by excessive tree felling and removal of vegetation.
The cause of the Uttarakhand or 2013 North India Flood, was a multi day cloudburst. The effects included heavy rainfall, landslides and deaths.
the effect of a flood is excesive rainfall
Heavy rainfall
A flood can be caused by many events such as intense rainfall. Intense rainfall can also cause the overflow of lakes and rivers.

lots and lots of rainfall causes flood =) hehe
a flash flood can be caused by a excessive amount of rain mostly down a hill or stream and earth quakes (:
the heavy rainfall in Australia.
