Explain why an urban area is prone to such floods

Geography

TEA [102]4 years ago
4 0
Urban flooding is specific in the fact that the cause is a lack of drainage in an urban area. As there is little open soil that can be used for water storage nearly all the precipitation needs to be transport to surface water or the sewage system. High intensity rainfall can cause flooding when the city sewage system and draining canals do not have the necessary capacity to drain away the amounts of rain that are falling. Water may even enter the sewage system in one place and then get deposited somewhere else in the city on the streets and these caused flooding to happened. (hope this will help )

Answer:

1-Civilization describes a complex way of life that came about as people began to develop networks of urban settlements. The earliest civilizations developed between 4000 and 3000 BCE, when the rise of agriculture and trade allowed people to have surplus food and economic stability

2-The scope of Civilization is larger than most other games. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 (on the easiest setting) with Space Age and "future technologies".

3-Civilizations first appeared in Mesopotamia (what is now Iraq) and later in Egypt.

4-Gods of Mesopotamia - 3200 BC, Home of the First Written Evidence of Religion.

5-From the collapse of ancient Rome to the fall of the Mayan empire, evidence from archaeology suggests that five factors have almost invariably been involved in the loss of civilizations: uncontrollable population movements; new epidemic diseases; failing states leading to increased warfare; collapse of trade routes

6- Most civilizations have agriculture, and a system of government like monarchs or elections. They speak a common language, and usually have a religion of some kind. They teach their young the knowledge they need. All civilizations since the Sumerians and the Egyptians have some kind of writing.

Which earth layer is less dense than the layer above it?
Mama L [17]
The deepest places on the earth are in South Africa. Mining companies trying to extract gold and diamondshave mined into the earth about 6 km (about 3.5 miles). No one has gone deeper into the earth than the South African miners (with heat-resistant clothing) because of the heat and pressure at these depths prevents humans from goingmuch deeper. If we can’t go very deep into the earth, how do we know what is below the surface when we can't see it?Isaac Newton (the scientist that discovered gravity) was one of the first scientists to develop theories about the structure of the earth. Based on his studies about gravity, Newton calculated the average density of the earth and found it to be more than twice the density of rocks on the surface. Newton realized that the inside of the earth had to be much denser than the surface.
