Intro to Environmental Systems
Flooding is an overflow of water onto land that is normally dry, which can occur due to various factors including heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, and storm surges. This phenomenon is closely linked to atmospheric circulation and climate systems, as changes in weather patterns can lead to increased precipitation and altered hydrological cycles, resulting in more frequent and severe flooding events in certain regions.
