Where do floods occur?
They occur in a city that is lower or slanted. They can also occur where there is a lot of rainfall. In some places where there is a river, lake, or ocean, it is likely to flood.The type of land that is prone to flooding are broad and flat usually situated on the banks of a river or main waterway. Rivers that flood are regarded in three different stages. They are:-ONE:- Water comes off the mountains, eroding the beds and banks of the river as it flows.TWO:- This type river travels through broad valleys which slows the current of the river down. If the current is slow it will transport less material down the river.THREE:- Flood-plain stage. Little if not any erosion takes place most of the material that is carried in the current is suspended and deposited to the form a flood plain.
Why was nubia's land far less fertile then the land of Egypt?
Because the Nile River did not flood in Nubia as much as it did in Egypt

In 1784 who did Spain close the lower Mississippi river to?

Do you need a hazerdous material license to transport 4 or less propane cylinders?
You will need to check with the state in which you plan to transport the propane cylinders. For instance, if you lived in Missouri, you would contact MODOT at www.modot.mo.gov.
Why are meander bends sometimes removed?
It increases the speed of the river (the meaners slow the water down) so if there is lots of water in the river (which will cause a flood) the water moves through quickly meaning it is less likely to flood the area. However this means that further down the river it is more likely to flood and tje flood will be worse because there has been more time for the water is flowing quickly towards the area. This means that straighting meanders is an effective means of preventing flooding in a city if there is land down stream which can be flooded without causing much harm (eg farming land).
Why do rivers deposit heavier sediments first and then lighter sediment?
More dense material is less buoyant in water than less dense material of equal volume. Sediment shape also plays a role in deposition sequence as material with angular irregular surfaces are more likely to be carried by water flow than smooth surfaces, due to friction with the water. Finally, the size of the sediment particle, particularly of rock material, may be most critical in the sequence of deposition; larger particles are the first to overcome the power of friction encountered in moving water, via gravity.
How is a flood plane formed?
A 'young' river will flow more or less straight and relatively quickly. As it cuts down throught the land it levels out and flows more slowly. Now that it's slower it cannot keep in suspension some of the mud which was in it and this settles out a bit. This will raise the bottom of the river bed and the river will get shallower. At times it will flow over the banks and the areas each side will have mud deposietd from this almost still water. This process builds up a plain which is known as a flood plain.
Rerouting a river could affect fishing in the river downstream because?
the river would have less water, so there would be less fish to catch
Why no waves are in river?
there are no waves as the quantity of the water in the river is less
