Floods are the most frequent type of NATURAL DISASTER and occur when an overflow of water submerges land that is usually dry. Floods are often caused by heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt or a storm surge from a tropical cyclone or tsunami in coastal areas.

Floods can cause widespread devastation, resulting in loss of life and damages to personal property and critical public health infrastructure. Between 1998-2017, floods affected more than 2 billion people worldwide. People who live in floodplains or non-resistant buildings, or lack warning systems and awareness of flooding hazard, are most vulnerable to floods.

What role do a society's beliefs play in an objective process like science?
Assoli18 [71]
Darwin is a great example. He created the theory of evolution, but because of the church ridiculing him, he couldn't come forth with his findings. Some parts of science may seem outlandish to society, and that can be very difficult to deal with.
