Geography

Nikitich [7]4 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.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Baptist and Methodist.

Explanation:

The First Great Awakening was a period of spiritual renewal that occurred during the mid-18th century. This period also saw a great deviation from the Catholic belief system and the emergence of more Protestant sect religious churches such as the Baptist and the Methodists.

This spiritual revival and awakening began as a result of the oppressive nature of the Catholic Church of England.
