What is the relationship between flooding and earthquakes? Choose the best answer.

• Earthquakes break open underground springs, which flood large areas

• Earthquakes usually break large water pipes, flooding entire states

• Undersea earthquakes can cause huge ocean waves, which flood shorelines

• Floodwaters often seep into fault lines, causing earthquakes

What is the primary cause of river flooding?

• Excessive rainfall over a short period

• High temperatures causing rapid snowmelt

• Strong winds pushing water inland

• Earthquakes causing riverbanks to collapse

Which of the following human activities can increase the risk of flooding?

• Reforestation and afforestation

• Urbanization and deforestation

• Conservation of wetlands

• Construction of permeable pavements
