What is a flood and what causes floods?

A flood is an overflow of water in an area. Floods can be caused by hurricanes (obviously), and heavy precipitation. When there is too much precipitation, it can cause lakes, rivers, and dams to overflow and flood the surrounding area. I hope that answers your question:)


What are the main part of water cycle and why it is called a cycle?

It is called a cycle because ether is no beginning or end the process repeats and repeats and repeats. Simply: water vapour evaporates from the sea, lakes rivers and other masses of water when the water is heated by the sun. The water vapor rises into the atmosphere and condenses to form clouds. Water falls as precipitation ( rain snow ice etc) onto the land and ends up in the rivers lakes and sea and the process starts again. Main parts are evaporation condensation precipitation. This is a basic version there are other things that are scources of water such as transpiration from vegetation.
