So when you have a big flood from something, you see pictures or reports saying X feet of water. Think like hurricane Katrina where it was up to peoples roofs. What is “holding” that water, so to speak? Why can’t it just spread out across the land or something?
In: Earth Science
Essentially it does spread until it hits land higher than the height of water and or the water isn’t being held back as much as it is still in the process of spreading out it just takes time for that volume of water to move any distance
