Floods
ReplyDeleteThink of at least 3 ways in which your everyday life would be changed after extensive flooding. Your crops would be ruined because the water would kill the plants that grow into vegetables. Your house would be wrecked because the water would get in through the cracks or underneath your door. Animals would get frightened or drown.
Explain 3 ways in which the environment would be changed. Floods can erode the top layer of soil which is needed when the farmers are planting their crops. If this happens the vegetables will end up dieing. There would be puddles and dams would overflow with all the water going into it. Plants would die caused by suffocation due to so much water.
What are the positive effects that flooding could lead to? The good effects that could happen are the water would go into the dams, the grass would go greener, we would get more water and animals will be able to eat the green grass.
