significant and unexpected events‚ for instance dam breakages. Heavy rainfalls are one of the major causes of floods. The level of water in rivers or lakes rises due to heavy rainfalls. When the level of water rises above the rive banks or dams‚ the water starts overflowing‚ which causes floods. The water overflows to the areas adjoining to the rivers‚ lakes or dams‚ causing floods or deluge. The flood water causes havoc and great destruction in the areas where it flows. Floods occur more in the

Although the dam in Belo Monte is not meant to directly affect the indigenous tribes in a negative way‚ the Indians are still being forced to move due to the redirection of the Xingu river. The river is not only their main source of water‚ but also of food and income. Additionally‚ the redirection the reduces the flow of the river‚ impeding the navigation of riverside and indigenous populations

what extent do you agree that river landforms can be classified as either erosional or depositional? Many different landforms are made by either deposition or erosion and there are some cases where they can be classified as both. Erosional landforms are caused by erosion which is the breaking down and transportation of particles from one area to another. Depositional landforms are made when particles are deposited somewhere else. In my opinion I think that river landforms can be classified as

The courageous lumberjack decided there and then to approach the beast and confront him. The strange "monkey man" quickly fled‚ though‚ as the man approached the river. Upon examining the tracks left behind‚ the lumberjack explained how the prints were almost identical to a human being‚ except for the extremely large size

such as a river or lake‚ in which the water overtops or breaks levees‚ resulting in some of that water escaping its usual boundaries‚[3] or it may occur due to an accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground in an areal flood. While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt‚ these changes in size are unlikely to be considered significant unless they flood property or drown domestic animals. Floods can also occur in rivers when the flow

upper course and lower course of a river. This coursework is underpinned through some key processes/concepts. These are: Dishcharge‚ velocity‚ lateral erosio‚ Bed load and vertical erosoin. Discharge- The discharge of a river is the volume of water which flows through it in a given time. Velocity - The velocity of a river is the speed at which water flows along it. Lateral erosion- Lateral erosion in a river is the wearing away of the sides of the river which makes the channel deeper because
