If a 100-year flood has recently occurred along a river, it is now less likely to experience a similar event in the near term.

Temka [501]3 years ago

The statement is correct.

When a flood is giving a time-bonding term, such as the 100-year flood, in this statement, it means that it has been noticed that the floods from the particular river occur on approximately that much of a time span.

If there has been a flood recently, than it most probably means that there isn't going to be a flooding caused by that river for the foreseeable future.

Now, there's always exceptions, as the climate patters are changing constantly, and there's always surprises, but in general, in lot of regions of the world, there has been noticed a certain consistency in some natural occurrences.

What does Europe have more of other continents​
Alenkasestr [34]

Europe's physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately. Europe's rich agricultural and industrial diversity has made the continent a centre of trade and commerce for centuries. It is centrally located between the two other “Old World” continents, Africa and Asia.

Europe did use to have lots of larger states and empires but most of them have broken up and are mostly arranged along ethnic lines. So there aren't many multi-ethnic states left in Europe anymore and a lot of these states were created due to wars.

What do the convergent boundaries ( collision zone) do colloids, separate or past each other?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

When two oceanic plates collide one oceanic plate is eventually subducted under the other. Where one plate slides under the other is referred to as the 'subduction zone'. As the subducting plate descends into the mantle where it is being gradually heated a benioff zone is formed. This benioff zone is a zone of shallow,intermediate and deep focused earthquakes. Some deep focused earthquakes that occur at ocean ocean- collision boundaries can be as deep as 670 kilometres. As the subducted plate descends into the mantle it is gradually heated allowing the formation of magma. The magma that forms is andesitic in composition and begins to form when the subducted plate reaches a depth of 100 kilometres. This andesitic magma is formed from the partial melting  of the asthenosphere just above the subduction zone. This partial melting of the subducting plate is due to the loss of water as it descends into the mantle. The andesitic magma is now less dense than the surrounding material so it rises through the crust and erupts to form an arc of volcanoes called an island arc. The distance between the trench and the island arc depends greatly upon where the subducting plate reaches the 100 kilometer depth. If the subduction angle is steep then the distance between the arc and the trench will be short.If the suduction angle is shallow the distance is longer. The main features are indicated in the diagram below. The swell is seen by a bulge in the in the downgoing plate where it is subducted into the mantle.where the plate subducts into the mantle is known as the trench.the forearc ridge contains highly deformed sedimentary and metemorphic rock. The backarc region is located behind the arc and can be compressed or extended.

Why is the Grand Canyon so deep while other rivers aren't? They have the same amount of water in them.
babunello [35]
Well the grand canyon is deep only because the water eroded the sides of the canyon over a long period of the time. so im guessing the same way goes for it being deep since it was a river
