floods, because they combine the destructive power of a flood with
incredible speed.
5. According to the text, why are flash floods the most dangerous kind of
floods? Flash floods occur when heavy rainfall exceeds the ability of
the ground to absorb it. They also occur when water fills normally dry
creeks or streams or enough water accumulates for streams to overtop
their banks, causing rapid rises of water in a short amount of time.
They can happen within minutes of the causative rainfall, limiting the
time available to warn and protect the public.

increases runoff by reducing the amount of rain absorbed by the
