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
It is spread out across the land. There’s just a stupid amount of water and it takes time for it flow away. What you saw in Katrina was the Gulf of Mexico pushed up onto the land by the force of the winds.
