there is flash floods and tons more
A flash flood is a type of flooding phenomenon. Floods are among the most deadly weather-related phenomena. Flash floods are particularly dangerous because they are characterized by extremely high flow of water in normally dry areas in a relatively more rapid time-frame than other types of flooding.
Both floods and hurricanes can be dangerous, but hurricanes have the potential to cause more widespread destruction due to their strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and tornadoes. Flooding is often a significant component of a hurricane's impact, as heavy rain can lead to flash floods and river flooding, exacerbating the overall danger.
By asking more intellectual humans to answer this questions =)
Flooding in urban areas is dangerous because there are larger populations in these areas. There are also more businesses and facilities, so floods would have a greater economic impact.
desert streams get flash floods more than the streams in the humid places.
A flood is virtually any case of large mounts of water moving onto land. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone (i.e has a closed circulation of air) with sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h). Hurricane that hit land almost always cause flooding, but some hurricanes stay at sea and never threaten land.
A flash flood is a sudden and intense flood that occurs within a short period of time, often due to heavy rainfall or a sudden release of water. It can happen with little warning and can be very dangerous. A regular flood, on the other hand, is a slower and more gradual rise in water levels over a longer period of time. To prepare for a flash flood, it is important to stay informed about weather conditions and have an emergency plan in place. This may include having a go-bag with essential items, knowing evacuation routes, and staying away from flood-prone areas during heavy rainfall. For a regular flood, preparation may involve having flood insurance, securing important documents and valuables, and creating a family emergency plan. It is also important to monitor weather forecasts and be ready to evacuate if necessary. Overall, being prepared and staying informed are key to staying safe during both flash floods and regular floods.
yes they are more dangerous than regular alligators especially in spring when their babies are born!
Three major types of floods include: * Slow onset floods - these occur gradually after there has been significant rain in a catchment area. Often, towns have plenty of warning that such floods are coming, and have the time to create levee banks for protection. Charleville, in western Queensland, is prone to slow onset floods as the waters flow down the Warrego River from further upstream, where heavy rain has fallen. The water takes days or even weeks to go down. * Fast onset floods - these are also caused by heavy monsoonal rains, but water comes up more quickly, often trapping motorists trying to cross swollen rivers and isolating towns quickly, then just as quickly subsiding. * Flash floods - usually caused by thunderstorms and sudden downpours. these fill rivers and drains quickly, sweeping away people who try to cross. Flash floods subside very quickly.
No more so than regular petroleum-based fuel.
More people drown in the desert than by dehydration.
