powerful empires in the world (Dunstan 2010). This transformation can be attributed mainly to Rome’s incredible ability to develop and implement many ideas that allowed the city to flourish (Dunstan 2010). These ideas included but were not limited to drainage systems‚ mills‚ and land elevations (Mahdavi 2012). Utilizing these and other advances in technology and engineering allowed Rome to become a more habitable place‚ and the incredible empire that Ancient Rome was. The Roman Empire originated

LAKE A lake is a body of relatively still water of considerable size‚ localized in a basin‚ that is surrounded by land apart from a river‚ stream‚ or other form of moving water that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes are inland and not part of the ocean and therefore are distinct from lagoons‚ and are larger and deeper thanponds.[1][2] Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams‚ which are usually flowing. However most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.Natural lakes are generally

equatorial or tropical area‚ there is a higher volume of water as compared to dry areas such as deserts. Lastly‚ the size of the drainage basin will affect the volume of a river. The bigger the size of land area drained by the main river and its tributaries‚ the higher the volume of water as there is more collection of rainwater compared to a smaller drainage basin which has less surface area for rain to fall on. The speed of the river‚ is affected by the gradient of the river. In the upper

Hence very little infiltration can occur. Also throughflow will be faster and HOF would thus occur quickly‚ indicating the fast response of the

industry. Some floods develop slowly‚ while others such as flash floods‚ can develop in just a few minutes and without visible signs of rain. Additionally‚ floods can be local‚ impacting a neighbourhood or community‚ or very large‚ affecting entire river basins. Etymology The word "flood" comes from the Old English flod‚ a word common to Germanic languages (compare German Flut‚ Dutch vloed from the same root as is seen in flow‚ float; also compare with Latin fluctus‚ flumen).

eruptions An eruption begins when pressure on a magma chamber forces magma up through the conduit and out the volcano’s vents. floods Floods are caused by weather phenomena and events that deliver more precipitation to a drainage basin than can be readily absorbed or stored within the basin. Earthquakes: An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane.
