Floods


My Blogs (olelog) are mainly based on my daily reading of earth science news.

Here on whatonearth.olehnielsen.dk I try to weave some of the pieces together to a greater whole with added background info.


Floods - some possible causes

River floods in connection with rainstormas
Snowmelt floods
Tsunamis
Dam or levee failure floods
Floods due to the rupture og glacial lakes
Floods resulting from lanslides
Floods in connection with tropical storms

Note: Deforestation, often from illegal logging, has destroyed forests that stabilize soils and regulate river flow, and this may cause record floods.
