Floods are primarily caused by excessive rainfall, rapid snowmelt, storms, or the failure of dams and levees, leading to an overflow of water onto land. Droughts, on the other hand, result from prolonged periods of below-average precipitation, often exacerbated by high temperatures, increased evaporation, and human activities such as water mismanagement and deforestation. Climate change also plays a significant role in altering weather patterns, contributing to both extreme flooding and prolonged droughts.
