Answer:
Floods have significant consequences for the environment
For many species, floods trigger breeding events, migration, and dispersal. ... Other negative effects include loss of habitat, dispersal of weed species, the release of pollutants, lower fish production, loss of wetlands function, and loss of recreational areas.
Explanation:
Answer:
Oceans = > 97 percent of Earth's water.
Glaciers = > 70% of Earth's freshwater
River = > Powered by gravity
Groundwater = > 100 times more water than all rivers and lakes
97% of the water on Earth is not drinkable as it is salt-water in oceans.
Of the 3% that is freshwater, Glaciers make up about 70% which means that we don't have access to a significant amount of freshwater either.
Of the available freshwater to us, groundwater comprises 98% which enables it to be 100 times more than all rivers and lakes.
Rivers are powered by gravity in that they flow from areas of higher elevation to areas of lower elevation as gravity pulls it downwards.
