There is no steadfast rule for classifying flooding along a floodplain or after a tropical cyclone. Instead, broad types of flood labels are applied to any type of water inundation that results in damages. Flooding is one of the most dangerous [|types of natural disasters]. Broad Flood Classifications Floods can be most broadly class There are essentially three source that // could // be responsible for the global warming that scientists see: The sun, the earth's reflectivity, and greenhouse gases. Scientists have looked carefully at each of these factors. The only one where the data matches up is greenhouse gases -- levels of these gases have risen sharply as we burn more fossil fuels. As either river floods or flash floods. The main difference is in the onset of the flooding. With flash floods, there is often little warning that flooding will occur. With river flooding, communities can prepare as a river nears its [|flood stage]. Listen to this USGS CoreFacts audio file on the types of floods. Flash floods are usually the most lethal. Heavy downpours, often in mountainous highlands, can lead to surges of water that turn dry river beds or flood plains into raging torrents in minutes. Local communities usually have little time to flee to higher land, and homes in the water's path can be totally destroyed. Roads and railways are often made impassable, making delivery of aid much more difficult. Other slow onset floods, such as those that hit Bangladesh every year, can also be lethal but tend to give people much more time to move to higher ground. These floods are a result of [|surface water runoff] (flash floods are also a result of surface water runoff, but the terrain is a larger factor in the severity of the flood). When deaths occur during slow-onset floods, they are much more likely to be due to disease, malnutrition or snakebites. For instance, in 2007, floods in China displaced tens of thousands of snakes into neighboring areas, increasing the risk of attacks. Slower floods are also less likely to sweep away property, although it may still be damaged or destroyed. Areas are likely to remain under water for months at a time. Storms, tropical cyclones, and other maritime extreme weather can also produce deadly [|storm surges], as happened in New Orleans in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina, Cyclone Sidr in November 2007, and [|Cyclone Nargis] in Myanmar in May 2009.  As the climate gets warmer, we can expect more extreme weather. Warmer oceans fuel more intense hurricanes, meaning destruction and flooding in coastal areas. Wildfires and drought are plaguing southern and western states. We don't have to wait to see what this will look like — we saw plenty of extreme weather in 2011.  Scientists track changes to the planet's temperature in many ways. Land-based weather stations and ocean buoys in every corner of the world monitor temperatures constantly.

Temperatures from the past left their traces in tree rings, coral reef and ice cores. When scientists look at all this evidence, they have a very clear picture of Even while Congress stalls, people around the world are addressing global warming. For example, California enacted a bold law to cut global warming pollution, and when out-of-state polluters attacked it, [|voters supported it]. [|Farmers in Vietnam] are changing their methods to release fewer emissions. You can be part of the solution, too. how the earth's temperature is changing.   The USA has more tornadoes than any other country in the world, averaging around 1200 a year. This is due largely to its unique geography which forms an area in central USA called “Tornado Alley” which is frequently hit by tornadoes.

Tropical cyclones (often referred to as hurricanes or typhoons) feature strong winds, driving rain, rough seas and areas of low atmospheric pressure. They frequently form in tropical areas of the globe and can do considerable damage to populated areas. Examples of this include the 1970 Bhola cyclone, Typhoon Nina which hit China in 1975 and more recently in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina which caused great devastation and loss of life when it hit southern parts of the USA.
