Floods
1 Higher surface temperatures and
2 changes in precipitation cause floods in some places, anddroughts in others.
A rise in sea level and severe rain are two causes of floods.
Long term changes in the hydrological cycle due to highertemperatures (more evaporation; melting of ice, moreintense rain fall) contribute to more floods.
More water vapor in the atmosphere, because theatmosphere is heating up, can cause floods to happen moreregularly.

What causes Floods?• Floods are an excess of water
that covers land that isnormally dry.
• This can be due dam or leveefailures, more rain than thelandscape can dispose of,torrential rains caused bystorms, rapid snow melts, or ablocked river.

The two main Floods• Flash floods occur when heavy
rainfall persists for only a shorttime period (usually only a fewhours), yet can cause majordamage and death due to theirsudden arrival.
• Riverine floods occurwhen water rises aboveits natural banks, oftencaused by snowmelts incombination withprolonged and heavyprecipitation.
• Riverine floods take days,weeks, or months to riseto its max and return tonormal, much longer thanit takes a flash flood.

When do they occur?• Floods can occur any time of the year.
• Floods occur primarily in the spring season due to iceand snow melting and frequent storms.
• In some countries, there are monsoon seasons, atime of great rain, when floods often occur, after a dryseason, when drought conditions occur.

Where do Floods often occur?
• Floods occur all overthe world, except forin Antarctica.Highlands are alsounlikely to be struckby flooding.
• They often occur inurban areas wherewater cannot draininto the soil properly.
• Floods usually affectfloodplains, flat areasnear large bodies ofwater.

Dangers of Floods
• Deadly and destructive (considered natural disaster)
• Human activities worsen floods
• Bangladesh- One of the world’s most densely populatedcountries.
• Great floods are now occurring every 4 years instead of every50 years because of deforestation, overgrazing (pascoloeccessivo), and unsustainable farming.

Destruction by Floods• Floods can cause major structural damage to buildings,
kill plants and animals, destroys habitats, and removessoil.
• Floods cause many deaths and drown many plants andcrops, and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.
• Many nutrients in topsoil are brought downstream ordeposited in the ocean.

Hazards of Floods• There are 6 categories to tell
how severe floods are in aregion.
• They are depth of water,duration, velocity, rate of rise,frequency, and seasonality.
• Frequency is how often floodsoccur in an area, whichdepends greatly on thetopography and climate.
• Seasonality is the time of yearfloods often occur.
• Depth is simply how deep thewater is.
• Duration is how long the waterlasts for.
• Velocity is how quick the wateris moving; the faster it movesthe more damage done.
• Rate of rise is how quickly thedepth of the water increases.(important when givingwarnings to evacuate areas)

How often do they occur?• Floods can occur anytime of
the year.• It is difficult to predict when
floods will occur in manyregions. It may be decadesbetween floods in certainareas.
• Certain regions flood severaltimes a year (5 or more).
• There are an average of 100 to150 extreme floods annually,world-wide.

Weather that causes Floods
• Floods are caused by melting snow andice, severe storms, hurricanes, tropicalstorms, monsoons, or prolonged orsudden rain fall.
• El Niño is a major contributor to floodingglobally.

HormonesHormonal changes, especially the concentration of ethylene,initiate structural adaptations.
Ethylene stimulates cellulase activity in the cortical cells, withthe subsequent collapse and disintegration of cell walls.
In addition to aerenchyma development, ethylene has beenreported to stimulate the formation of adventitious roots, justabove the anaerobic zone when these plants are flooded.
These roots are able to function normally in an aerobicenvironment.

• Utilizes either avoidance or tolerance• Avoidance involves physically excluding
the pollutant by closing the stomata, theprincipal site at which ozone enters theplant
• Tolerance - biochemical responses thatinduce or activate the antioxidant defencesystem and possibly also various repairmechanisms
