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.
Both refer to the same thing, but the term "flash flood" implies that the flood came so quickly and unexpected that there was no time to make preparations. In many cases the flash flood causes the water level to rise several metres within a very short period of time.
Flash floods are most likely to be caused by a sudden weather event, such as a storm, while slow-onset floods are caused by prolonged, sustained rain.
A flood is when a nearby source of water swells, engulfing an area of water. While a mudd-slide is when a portion of a hill, mountain shift (typically collapsing) and swallow what is beneath it.
flood involves water rising and overflowing its normal path. But a flash flood is a specific type of flood that appears and moves quickly across the land, with little warning that it's coming. Many things can cause a flash flood. Generally they are the result of heavy rainfall concentrated over one area. Most flash flooding is caused by slow-moving thunderstorms, thunderstorms that repeatedly move over the same area, or heavy rains from hurricanes and tropical storms. Dam failures can create the worst flash flood events. When a dam or levee breaks, a gigantic quantity of water is suddenly let loose downstream, destroying anything in its path. Flash flood waters move at very fast speeds while floods do not move with greater speed
Flash floods are caused by storms.
Normal floods are caused by non-stop rain.
hurricanes are more stronger and can ruin a whole entire state and floods arent that strong
A: floods are just plain floods and flash floods are floods that happen VERY VERY fast. hence the word "flash"
No, a flash flood is a flood that's REALLY fast and causes a lot more damage.
A flood is when it rains a lot and a tsunami is when the ocean has very big waves and it ends up on land far away from the water and causes a lot of damage.
Flash floods are very fast and floods are not
Flash floods are dangerous because they happen suddenly It rains VERY hard, and then it floods up.
flash floods
Flash floods are formed due to cloud brusts and torrential rains.

Flash floods are floods that happen quickly and without warning. Like they appear in a "flash".
The Floods that happen suddenly are called Flash Floods.
Flash floods are floods that are caused by a storm. Normal floods are caused by non-stop rain.
desert streams get flash floods more than the streams in the humid places.
Flash Floods take place at Canada and Johnstown.
Flash floods are dangerous because they happen suddenly It rains VERY hard, and then it floods up.
In a flash.
Most flash floods occur after late afternoon rainfall.
Flash floods are formed due to cloud brusts and torrential rains.

there is flash floods and tons more
Both tornadoes and flash floods are weather hazards that develop quickly.
