The Greatest Flood in History 🌊

Floods can happen for several reasons, many of which coincide. However, excessive and heavy rainfall is one of the leading causes of floods, mainly when flash floods occur. Floods occur when the rate of rain in low-lying areas and urban settings exceeds the capacity of the ground to absorb it. Extreme rainfall in river courses also contributes to flooding. This is because it causes water to flow down riverbanks and spill over onto adjacent land.
