Types of Floods Explained: Coastal, River, and Flash
•

There are three main types of floods: coastal floods, river floods, and flash floods. Coastal floods occur in coastal areas from storms, earthquakes, or huge waves. River floods take place in floodplains and along river banks from heavy rain or snow melt. Flash floods can happen anywhere due to short periods of heavy rain, and cause water to exceed the carrying capacity of the land, resulting in overflow onto dry land and flooding. The carrying capacity of an area relates to floods because when too much water is added and exceeds the capacity of a place, flooding will occur.

Types of Floods Explained: Coastal, River, and Flash
- 1. types of floods t1w1b: sec 2 geography
- 2. objectives - Define > Floods - Contrast 3 types of floods (coastal, river, flash)
- 3. carrying capacity? What is The maximum amount of things a place can support before problems occur. recap
- 4. carrying capacities? Why are there different recap - Distribution of resources are not the same - Humans interact with nature differently, which can change the carrying capacities differently.
- 5. floods?What are - Overflows of large amounts of water onto land that is normally dry.
- 6. carrying capacity? what has that got to do with Place
- 7. carrying capacity? what has that got to do with Place Water added
- 8. carrying capacity? what has that got to do with Place Within carrying capacity of water = no flood!
- 9. carrying capacity? what has that got to do with Place Too much water added
- 10. carrying capacity? what has that got to do with Place Exceed carrying capacity = flood!
- 11. floods?What are - Overflows of large amounts of water onto land that is normally dry.
- 12. carrying capacity? what has that got to do with - When there is too much water added to a place, such that it exceeds its carrying capacity, - large amounts of water would overflow onto land that is usually dry, - causing floods floods?What are - Overflows of large amounts of water onto land that is normally dry.
- 13. Too Much Water Exceed Carrying Capacity Overflow into usually dry land

- 22. Too Much Water Exceed Carrying Capacity Overflow into usually dry land flash floods Anywhere!
- 23. Too Much Water Exceed Carrying Capacity Overflow into usually dry land flash floods Anywhere!
- 24. Too Much Water Exceed Carrying Capacity Overflow into usually dry land flash floods Anywhere! short periods of heavy rain
- 25. to conclude…
- 26. Too Much Water Exceed Carrying Capacity Overflow into usually dry land
- 27. Too Much Water Exceed Carrying Capacity Overflow into usually dry land ???? floods Flood where? Water from where?
- 28. practice…
- 29. next lesson…
- 30. why are some places more affected by flooding than others?
