Answer:

Flood: An overflow of water onto normally dry land. ... Ponding of water at or near the point where the rain fell. Flooding is a longer term event than flash flooding: it may last days or weeks. Flash flood: A flood caused by heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time, generally less than 6 hours.
