Explain why floods and precipitation are so poorly correlated with one another. why don't floods preferentially occur during the months when precipitation is highest?

Flooding has as its main motivation the drainage of cities and urban occupation. In addition to the common causes of man-made floods such as excess pollution, urbanization is a significant contributor to flooding. The unregulated use of geographical spaces for the construction of cities increases soil sealing, which prevents water from evaporating effectively and thus causing runoff. Another factor is the precarious water drainage system and the excess waste produced and disposed of in an irregular manner that causes trench clogging, pollution and increases the level of the rivers.

a maximum–minimum thermometer. the scales are fahrenheit on the inside of the u and celsius on the outside. the current temperature is 23 degrees celsius, the maximum recorded is 25, and the minimum is 15, both read from the base of the small markers in each arm of the u tube. the bulbs are hidden by a plastic housing.

six's thermometer is a registering thermometer which can record the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a period of time, for example 24 hours. it is used to record the extremes of temperature at a location, for instance in meteorology and horticulture. it was invented by a british scientist james six, born in canterbury, in 1780; [1] the same basic design remains in use.

it is also commonly known as a maximum–minimum, minimum–maximum, maxima–minima or minima–maxima thermometer, of which it is the earliest practical design.

the thermometer indicates the current temperature, and the highest and lowest temperatures since last reset.
