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.
Animals ingest food containing carbon sources such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. (Which they get from plants that have absorbed and converted the carbon dioxide into other energies). They then metabolise these substances to produce waste products. One of these waste products is carbon dioxide which they breathe into the atmosphere. Also animals faeces is broken down by bacteria which give off carbon dioxide as they do so.
