Flood is the catastrophic event would have the biggest impact on a watershed.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Watershed is basically an area where common rivers and streams will eventually empty into larger water bodies like the ocean. Floods will cause an excessive amount of water to flow through the watershed and this excess water cannot be absorbed.

This will eventually cause runoffs and also accelerates the land erosion. Floods can change the direction of the streams and new channels can be formed and there will be redistribution of the water sources. The flora and fauna too is disturbed. Homes that are built on watersheds are affected the most when floods occur.

How is the seasonal change in winds associated with india, and what term is applied to this seasonal wind shift?
Nezavi [6.7K]

As the land surface heats up in summer, it generates a thermal low pressure. Air from the relatively high-pressure region over the ocean blows into this thermal low. This is called the <u>monsoon.</u>

<u />

<h3><u>A Monsoon: What Is It?</u></h3>

A monsoon is a change in wind patterns that frequently results in either a very wet or a very dry season. Although monsoons are typically associated with sections of Asia, they can occur in many tropical and subtropical climates, including numerous locations in the United States.

<u>What triggers a monsoon?</u>

A seasonal change in the winds is what triggers a monsoon. The seasonal differences in land and water temperatures cause the winds to fluctuate. For instance, the ground warms up more quickly than bodies of water at the start of summer. The direction of the monsoon winds is always from chilly to warm. In the summer, conditions arise that cause the wind to blow in the opposite direction.
