Flood What causes flooding? Prentice Hall - Science Explorer. Asked by BookRagsHelper on 31 Dec 04:06 Last updated by anonymous on 02 Jan 00:28
Flooding is a geographic area's inability to absorb the sheer amount of water that enters it. This can happen because of the amount of water, the lack of drainage, the type of soil, the topography of the area, and its proximity to bodies of water.
