Is flood plain the same as flood control?

No, a floodplain is the low-lying area along a river or stream that is prone to flooding. Flood control refers to measures taken to prevent or reduce the impact of flooding, such as building levees or dams or implementing land use regulations in flood-prone areas.


Is there a difference between a 100 year flood plain and a flood plain?

The flood plain of a river is an area very near the river which floods regularly, generally every 1 to 2 years. The 100-year flood plain is a larger area which has a 1 in 100 chance of flooding in any given year. Over the long term this would average out to a flood every century.


What are some reasons that someone would not survive in the flood waters?

Some reasons someone may not survive in flood waters include drowning due to swift currents, being struck by debris or being trapped in submerged vehicles or buildings. Additionally, exposure to cold water for an extended period can lead to hypothermia, and contamination of the flood water can cause illness or infection.


Where would you drill to recover samples of the oldest basaltic oceanic crust which is Jurassic age?

To recover samples of the oldest basaltic oceanic crust, which is Jurassic in age, you would need to drill in regions where the crust is still preserved. The best places to do this would be in certain portions of the western Pacific Ocean, such as the western Pacific Basin or the western regions of the Northwest Pacific Ocean, where Jurassic-aged oceanic crust is known to exist. Conducting deep-sea drilling operations in these areas can help recover samples for study.


If all the water vapor in the atmosphere were to condense and fall to the ground the globe would be covered with about how much water?

If all the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere were to condense and fall to the ground, it would cover the globe with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. This would equate to approximately 1/25th of an inch (1 mm) if evenly distributed over the entire surface of the Earth.
