Flash floods are a growing threat in some of the world's driest regions. Deluges can trigger sudden and rapid torrents of run-off that flow down dry river beds and rocky channels. Because parched soils repel water rather than allowing it to soak in, flash floods can be more devastating ...
Last year, around two-thirds of Pakistan was affected by widespread flash flooding, withmore than 1,500 people killed and around 33 million made homeless. Almost 2,000 people died in flash floods across Africa, and parts of the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Yeme...
Why do liquids flow? Why do denser objects sink? Why is the lower mantle solid? Explain the causes of flash floods, each step of a flash flood, damages due to flash floods, and how to prevent flash floods. Why is sliding friction less than rolling friction?
How do air currents occur in storm clouds? How does orographic lifting create thunderstorms? Why does light refract? How do clouds form fire tornadoes? Why do hurricanes have an eye? Why do clouds form in front of a warm front? What causes flash floods?
This flash flooding can occur hundreds of kilometres inland from the point of landfall, hammering communities that may have thought they were safe from the storm’s impacts. MUST SEE: Tropical tornadoes are a hidden danger in landfalling storms...
I have a pair of glasses. That's a mirror! I am wearing a scarf can be spilled flash powder, so that I can work in the night, my arm can be turned into a broom sweeping the floor, can also become a long iron claw the naughty children in the home. ...
Yet the record warmth swelling over the eastern part of the state made the atmosphere viable for the storm to occur. Usually, a tornado of such magnitude would only occur in March or April, not December. Scientists are still uncertain of the role that climate change plays in tornado formation...
Flash flooding can occur if a dam or levee breaks. It can also happen within minutes or hours after heavy rainfall, especially if the storm is moving slowly. It’s more likely to affect areas where a lot of people live and work. That’s because the ground, which usually absorbs water,...
On weather maps, anomalous kinetic energies occur where winds converge, such as shear lines or convergence lines of wind field. The convergence lines are associated with the interaction of different airflows from different directions. What are the differences in the distribution characteristics of ...
