Why flooding causes destruction

 Why flooding causes destruction.

People usually think flooding isn't that serious. But flooding can kill anything in its way such as houses,  cars, schools, and most of all people. Did you know that a flash flood can go up 30 feet and a car can be taken away in just 2 feet of flood water.

A flood is an overflow of water. And most floods can take up to hours or even days to be formed. Climate change is increasing the risks of floods world wide.  And melting ice and other factors can cause rising sea levels. 

To survive a flood you need to go to high ground so the flood does not reach you . You also need to look after all living creatures such as your pets. Most Pets can't swim for long, dogs drown in only 10 minutes and cats can swim but sometimes they choose not to. 

Floods are caused by global warming or climate change. Climate change is caused by a lot of things like greenhouse gases and us humans.  The sea levels are rising and creating more floods.

Flooding is something very serious and it is damaging things people have made. Do you know that millions of people have died. A Lot of things have happened in this weather and it needs to stop.
