Question

question 11 (multiple choice worth 2 points) which of the following is not a direct cause of flooding? melting snow an ice storm excess precipitation excess surface runoff

Explanation:

• Melting snow adds water to bodies of water or runoff, directly causing flooding.
• Excess precipitation (like heavy rain) directly increases water volume, leading to flooding.
• Excess surface runoff means more water flowing over land, directly causing flooding.
• An ice storm primarily involves ice accumulation (e.g., on trees, power lines) and doesn't directly add large amounts of water to cause flooding (unlike the others which involve water accumulation/flow).

Answer:

B. an ice storm
