Question

The ________________ due to heavy rainfall leads to Flood.

Answer 1

Answer:

Flash floods are caused by rapid and excessive rainfall that raises water heights quickly, and rivers, streams, channels or roads may be overtaken. River floods are caused when consistent rain or snow melt forces a river to exceed capacity.

Explanation:

Heavy rainfall - if there is heavy rainfall there is less chance of it being soaked up by the soil (infiltration ) so it runs off into the river.The faster the water reaches the river, the more likely it will flood. ... This will increase the flood risk, as the water will not be intercepted and flow into the river.
