Geography

Katarina [22]3 years ago

Answer:

Subduction zones are collision between two tectonics plates such that one of the plates is subducted to the mantle (or sinks) directly below the other plate

Whereby the densities of the convergent (colliding) continental plates are lower than the density of the mantle, subduction is prevented from occurring, and subduction zones are not formed at the continental-continental convergent boundaries

frutty [35]

Various phenomena, such as rainfall, snowmelt, monsoons, typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones can cause rivers to<u> </u><u>flood</u> their banks.

Flooding typically takes place while prolonged rain falls over numerous days, heavy rain falls over a brief length, or whilst an ice or debris jam causes a river or circulates to overflow onto the surrounding place. Flooding can also result from the failure of water manipulate structures, including a levee or dam.

The most essential sources of flood-inflicting precipitation and runoff within America are extratropical cyclones and their associated fronts; convective thunderstorms, especially after they arise in mesoscale convective structures; and tropical cyclones.
