How does snow melt cause flooding?
Because when snow melts it makes water and if there's a lot of snow then there will be a lot of water which will cause a flood.
If snow falls instead of rain Will it cause a flood more quickly?
No, in fact it is quite the opposite. If snow falls and remains on the ground, it helps to stagger the runoff into rivers so that flooding is less likely to occur. Though if a lot of rain ends up falling onto a snowpack, the flooding potential is then amplified.
Why do rivers flood so much?
Rivers flood so much as snow melts on the water, dams burst and heavy rain. All these can cause the water level to rise and causes lots of flooding.
Can snow cause erosion?
Yes! When snow melts the resulting water can erode things.
How snow can cause weathering and erosion?
you are dumb
How might melting snow contribute to flooding?
The water from the melting snow can add on to a river or stream and it can over flow, that will cause the flooding.

How does melting mountain snow affect rivers?
It increases water flow and can cause flooding
What is most likely the cause of springtime flooding in a river valley?
Rapid snow melt in regions upstream
What are some ways that flooding has occurred?
flooding has come from melted snow or ice and rain
Does a cyclone cause a flood?
Cyclones primarily cause flood through rain they produce. If an area receives more rainwater than can drain out of it in a given time, flooding will often result. Extratropical cyclones can also cause flooding when snow the produce melts. Tropical cyclones such as hurricanes can drive seawater onto land with their winds, causing coastal flooding.
What are the seven main storms?
Tornadoes, rainstorms, tropical storms, hurricane, blizzard, tropical storm, snow storm.
Does a flood have weather?
Yes. Floods are typically associated with very heavy rains. Another common cause of flooding is melting snow and ice.
What are three causes of flooding?
ice,snow, hurricans

How does the sun affect mountains?
The sun affects mountains through heating the tips of them up, this causes snow/ice on the top of them to melt causing flooding of local rivers and stream. it can also cause land slides. if there is no snow/ice then it will just cause a increase in temperature.
What unusual think happens which causes school to be cancelled?
Bad winter weather (deep snow and blizzards) can cause a school to close. Flooding is another reason.
