Geography

Nikitich [7]3 years ago

A flood is an inundation of the land by water.

There are three types of flooding. The first type is pluvial. Pluvial is excessive or extreme precipitation, that covers the land. The second type is called fluvial. Fluvial is excessive river or stream flow where a river or stream spills outside its banks onto its adjacent lands. The third type is costal flooding. This is caused by the lunar cycle where extremely high tides inundate the land next to the cost.

<span>The two primary causes are climate change, resulting in increased severity and intensity of rainfall, and new developments on floodplains, which are themselves at risk of flooding, and which increase the risk of flooding downstream. [ The effects of flooding from the sources outlined above are felt by various 'receptors'. These include, people, buildings, infrastructure, agriculture, open recreational space and the natural world. In extreme cases flooding may cause a loss of life.</span>

How does the Antarctic wildlife lure tourists to come to this region?
iragen [17]

There is no doubt Antarctica is an incredible tourist destination. It is a magnificent and largely uninhabited wilderness with majestic mountains, glaciers, icebergs and abundant wildlife. Its remoteness, inaccessibility and severe climate add an element of adventure to a visit to Antarctica.


Visitor numbers have increased rapidly over the last few decades. During the 1998-99 summer season, over 10,000 tourists visited Antarctica compared with less than 2,000 19 years ago. Tours are organised by private companies and people from all over the world make the journey to see the icy continent.


The trend of increasing visitor numbers has led the Antarctic Treaty countries to establish guidelines and regulations to minimise the impact of these visitors on this remarkable environment.

What happens if you start digging straight down to the center of the earth? How far have humans been able to dig down ? Why shou
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Well, the deepest hole humans have ever dug was about 7.5 miles deep, in Murmansk, Russia.  We should care about what is beneath our feet because something terrible could be afoot. For example, there could be some kind of anomaly under a heavily populated city. This anomaly could range from anything such as volcanic activity to instability in the ground on which the city is built. We should care about what is in the earth to make sure human life is not somehow endangered by something under our feet. I hope this helps!
