Look at the following landscapes, and determine whether they would be susceptible to regional or flash flooding. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Labels may be used more than once.
Answer:
As the first image consists of a deep gorge, occasional high discharge of water by any means can only create a flash flooding. The adjacent regional area will remain devoid of the danger of getting flooding due to the confining stream within the deep gorge.
The second image is of a river with gentle slope and is flowing in its mature stage. Thus this river is suceptable to regional flooding.
The third image is of an urban area, devoid of any major stream or water body nearby. Thus this area will witness a flash flooding in case of occasional high discharge.
The fourth image is also of a lake or a kind of water body with bankful level of water. Thus it is more prone to regional flooding.
