Show transcript
Rivers flood when they can’t hold all the water that is entering into them from tributaries, the soil and the rock.
Heavy rainfall or long-lasting rainfall is a common cause of flooding.
Steep slopes can cause flooding as rainwater will run quickly downhill to the river during a storm.
Humans can make flooding more likely by deforestation and building tarmac and concrete surfaces.
