Little rain clouds can cause flooding when they release heavy rainfall over a short period of time, overwhelming the capacity of the land to absorb water. This can lead to rapid runoff into streams and rivers, causing them to overflow and flood low-lying areas. The combination of a sudden downpour and inadequate drainage systems can exacerbate the flooding problem.
What else can I help you with?
Describe a situation wherein a relatively light rain could cause flooding?
A situation where a relatively light rain could cause flooding is when the ground is already saturated from previous heavy rainfall or when the area has poor drainage systems. In these cases, even a light rain can quickly overwhelm the soil's ability to absorb more water, leading to surface runoff and potential flooding. Topography that funnels water towards low-lying areas can also exacerbate flooding with light rain.
Can it rain but white clouds no rain clouds?
Yes, it is possible for it to rain even if there are white clouds in the sky instead of the typical dark rain clouds. Rain formation can be influenced by various factors such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric conditions, not just the appearance of clouds.
What type of cloud does heavy rain fall from?
Cumulonimbus clouds, those can cause supercell storms (rotating thunderstorms) and then severe weather, such as deadly lightning, tornadoes, large hail, straight line winds, and even flooding.Another cloud is Mammatus. Mammatus hangs beneath the anvil of a mature thunder cloud. It produces severe weather especially tornadoes. I read this from a book so this is true.
What kind of clouds are rain clouds?
All clouds are rain clouds. You just have to know when the rain will rall out of them. When a clou is really grey the rain in that cloud is going to fall soon. If the cloud is white it is NOT going to rain!There You Go!AnswerAll clouds are rain clouds. You just have to know when the rain will rall out of them. When a clou is really grey the rain in that cloud is going to fall soon. If the cloud is white it is NOT going to rain!There You Go!NO NO NO!!!!!!! u have it all wrong!A cumulusnimbus cloud is a rain cloud!Well, at least that's what my science teacher said
Which type of cloud is most likely to cause rain or snow?
There are two main rain/snow making clouds. Nimbostratus, a thick uniformly grey cloud at low heights will cause light to moderate rain or snow to fall over long periods of time. Cumulonimbus, a massive white towering cloud sometimes with the shape of an anvil, with a very dark appearance from below. These clouds will make very heavy rain/snow fall over a short time, often with the presence of lightning. These are the clouds that will make rain and snow
Can the heavy rain from hurricane clouds cause damage?
Yes. The force of the rain itself is not damaging, but the amount of rain delivered means that many hurricanes cause extensive flooding.
How much water vapor is there in the air?
rain, flooding and clouds
Can rain cause flooding?
Yes. Excessive rainfall is the most common cause of flooding.
What are strong winds that cause heavy rain and flooding called?
Strong winds that cause heavy rain and flooding are called hurricanes.
What causes flooding in general?
In gereral, flooding accurs when the clouds in the sky, which are made up of condesation water, gets to heavy and precipitation water pours out. The more clouds, the more rain, the more flooding.
All of the rain from the hurricane can cause what to occur?
The rain from a hurricane can cause sever flooding.
How can the unusual monsoons lead to problems for India and southeast Asia?
The monsoons can cause flooding and landslides, but if there is too little rain, it can cause droughts.
What can bad rain cause?
Flooding and depression
Do cyclones always cause flooding?
Cyclones do not always cause flooding. Cyclone Tracy, which hit Darwin, Australia in 1974 ,was a classic example of a cyclone that hit violently causing widespread destruction, yet very little damage was caused by rain or flooding. Often cyclones degrade into tropical depressions when they hit land, and this is what causes the flooding, but there was very little rain associated with Cyclone Tracy compared to other cyclones.
What problems do monsoons cause?
rain, flooding ,farmloss, any ways they cause disaster................ :D
Do hurricanes ever cause flooding?
yes they do, they cause high winds and heavy rain (I MEAN LOTS OF RAIN)
Do all the clouds formed in the sky cause rain?
no only the black clouds which is made by the condenstation will give rain
