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.

The Barossa Valley in South Australia is an area noted for vineyards.

In general, a rural area or countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities.[1] The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines the word rural as encompassing "...all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural."[2]

Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas are commonly rural, as are other types of areas such as forest. Different countries have varying definitions of rural for statistical and administrative purposes.

Depression in the middle refers to basin whereas circular shape at the middle denotes dome.

Explanation:

If this large bullseye structure has depression in the middle and the sides are higher than the middle region so it is known as basin while on the other hand, if this large bullseye structure has rounded uplifted landform so we can say that it is a dome. The structure of basin looks like a bowl which has low length at the middle and higher length at the bottom whereas dome has circular surface having sides of low height and middle is more in height.
