Why flooding causes destruction
Flooding is a natural cause. Flooding can also cause lots of damage to towns, cities, cars, power poles and also people. Flooding can be caused by overflowing rivers, broken dams, storm surges and tsunamis, but the most common flood cause is by too much rain.
Flooding causes a lot of damage, and most times about 40 billion dollars to fix, flooding goes all over the world. When floods occur they often bring sand, dirt and other substances. Those things build up and make the flood higher above ground. The force of the water also pushes things over and carries them in the flood, and those things can knock other things down or carry things with it. Such as, houses, shops, power poles and cars.
Flooding doesn't just destroy things, it also messes the towns or cities up. After a flood it takes a long time to clean up and sometimes lots could die or be injured.
It also means some people don't have anywhere to live.
To reduce this problem we could build a wall to stop the flooding and build some houses on hills. Most importantly build the towns and cities in a non flood zone, that way everyone can be safe.
In conclusion flooding is a huge problem for people and costs a lot of money. It leaves a giant mess to clean up and it takes a very long time for the damage to be repaired. It would be great to build out of flooding zones, and have plans if a flood does occur.
