Flood

rising water levels in water bodies, and leading to flooding

of territories. This usually happens either in rainy seasons or in spring due to melting snow. But there are other causes of flooding.

caused by the rivers coming out of their banks, mainly.

This is because the rivers collect water in vast territories. The sediments have a strong influence on the water level in them.
- Melting of snow. Spring in many regions accumulates a huge amount of snow. Because of warming, it melts, and water flows can flood everything around. TrUe, this does not lead to catastrophic consequences.

on some sections of the rivers the bottom is raised.

This leads to a rise in the water level.
- Tsunami. The tsunami wave brings with it a huge amount of water, because of which there is a flood on the coasts. True, it has a short character.
- Destruction of dams. In the event that the dam is for some reason no longer able to restrain the pressure of the water, a breakthrough occurs. This causes a short-term, but rather strong flooding.

rise in the water level in rivers, caused by precipitation

or melting snow. It can lead to catastrophic consequences.
- Flood - a strong but short-term rise in the water level, also caused by the melting of snow or precipitation, but very powerful.

of territories.
- Wind surge
- short-term, but strong flooding caused

by the impact of strong wind on the water surface.- Other species. Caused by a variety of reasons

cause minor damage, depending on the strength of the phenomenon

and the terrain features. They can also rarely lead to people being evacuated, although they usually do not flood houses. In general, such floods do not pose a particular danger.
Sometimes very severe or even catastrophic floods occur. They are capable of flooding entire settlements, causing enormous material damage. In such cases, mass evacuation of the population is carried out, but people still often die. Fortunately, such dangerous flooding occurs rather rarely.
