Question

All of the following are benefits provided by monsoons in South and Southeast Asia, except __________. A. increased flooding B. the provision of needed water C. an improved economy D. greater food production

Answer 1

The Correct answer is Increased Flooding which is Option A.

A flood is the accumulation of water over normally dry land. It’s caused by the overflow of inland waters (like rivers and streams) or tidal waters, or by an unusual accumulation of water from sources such as heavy rains or dam or levee breaches.

Why Increased Flooding is an exception and not a benefit?

• Floods are the most common (and among the most deadly) natural disasters in India. They have brought destruction to every state and nearly every county, and in many areas they are getting worse. As global warming continues to exacerbate sea level rise and extreme weather.

• This occurs when a river or stream overflows its natural banks and inundates normally dry land. Most common in late winter and early spring, river flooding can result from heavy rainfall, rapidly melting snow, or ice jams.

Increased Flooding is the only drawback of monsoons among other 3.

Following are the mentioned benefits.:-

B) The provision of needing water - there is enough amount of water.

C) Improved economy - Improvement of a greater economy.

D) Greater food Production - Monsoon helps in greater food production.
