Question

2.) State three natural and three man-made factors that cause foods.

Answer 1

Answer:

man made-

Infrastructure failures

Floods can be caused by a breaking or failure of infrastructure that can cause large quantities of water to flood a local area.

One example is when water mains break such as the one that occurred in July of 2014 on the UCLA campus in the United States that caused water to gush out into the surrounding area at 75,000 gallons per minute.

Another example is when dams break due to faulty construction or maintenance, or when they are overwhelmed due to heavy precipitation.

 

Development and infrastructure in flood-prone areas

The development and building of infrastructure in flood-prone areas, such as along rivers, near ocean shorelines, or near river deltas, has led to an increase in vulnerability to flooding because the natural resiliency of these ecosystems has been compromised.

 

Deforestation

When deforestation occurs in a particular area, there are no more trees to help soak up precipitation and reduce waterflow over the landscape. Without these natural protections, there is an increased risk of flooding and erosion whenever it rains.

River flooding from long, steady rain

•Flash flooding caused by sudden, heavy rain

•Coastal flooding from extreme tidal conditions
