Floods

What happens when dry land gets deluged by water? In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby discuss flooding, one of the most common of all natural disasters. In this educational, animated movie, you’ll learn about the earth’s ability to soak up water like a sponge, and why it sometimes gets overwhelmed. Discover which geographic areas are most susceptible to flooding and what people living in those places do to protect themselves like seawalls, levees and dykes. Find out what floodwater contains that makes it such a toxic soup. Did you know that most of the destruction in New Orleans caused by Hurricane Katrina was actually a result of flooding after the storm had already passed? Storm surges from hurricanes, tides, tsunamis, and earthquakes can lead to watery nightmare!
