What caused the flooding in Bangladesh
204536
The biggest reason why flooding oocurs in Bangladesh is because its REALLY below sea level.  Also they don't have the money to bulid up nice dams or other safety measures needed unlike other countries or areas.

The simple answer is, of course, rain. I suspect, however that you're really supposed to undertake a bigger project, and explain the overall causes of the dust bowl and why normal amounts of rain led to flood condtions.\n\nYou should start by using some of the excellent resources that are on the web that explain how farming practices, weather, migration, and other factors all are interrelated.

Your question is very general so that makes it hard to answer well, but I will try because you have asked for help. \n\nCoastal erosion is a natural process that can be accelerated by improper land use. It has become a large problem in the Gulf of Mexico, especially in Louisiana and Texas for several reasons. In Texas and along most coasts there is a process known as longshore drift. This means that the ocean currents move a specific direction and so sand and other sediment is moved longshore (along the shore) in one prevailing direction. When rivers are dammed they no longer supply sand to the river deltas and this longshore drift cannot resupply the beaches with sand. The beaches eventually become starved of sand and begin to erode. On the eastern coast of the United State longshore drift is northward, so barrier islands and other beaches tend to migrate northward. On the west coast of the US the drift is southward and so beaches lose sand where anything blocks the southward movement. Some jetties have been built that began to starve the beaches southward of sand supply and this has become a problem for those beaches. \n\nIn Louisiana the problem is a little different because there are several factors known to be causing a very rapid rate of coastal erosion. Louisiana is losing 18,500 acres of wetlands each year to coastal erosion. One large part of the problem is that this area was once part of the Mississippi River delta floodplain, and as levees have been built to prevent flooding, the areas have been deprived of additional sediment supply from the river. Another part of the problem is that the sediments that the area is built on tend to settle over time. The Mississippi River has built a pile of sediments of sand and mud that is several miles thick. With time this sediment compacts and sinks, causing flooding where the surface is no longer being resupplied from the river. Even another factor has been discovered that this part of the North American continent is sinking possibly as a response to the melting of glaciers on the upper part of the continent about 10,000 years ago. Since the northern part of the continent is still rising because of the weight of the ice removed when the glaciers melted, it works like a teeter-totter and the southern part is going down This coastal erosion is in large part the cause of much of the damage to New Orleans during last years hurricanes, as it created storm surge conditions that were more extreme than expected. \n\nOther types of coastal erosion are prevalent in states like California where large storms can move waves across the beach and erode the base of cliffs that are along the beaches. This often causes very nice houses to slide down the cliff in a landslide.  To some extent it is a natural process that should have been anticipated by those homeowners, but it probably is also being affected by sea level rise and beach starvation.  Earthquakes are even a factor in these coastal bluff landslides. \nhttp://www-csgc.ucsd.edu/STORIES/coastalerosion.html\n\nI've added some links to resources about Louisiana coastal erosion below.

The area which is now Bangladesh has a rich historical and cultural past, the product of the repeated influx of varied peoples, bringing with them the Dravidian, Indo-Aryan, Mongol-Mughul, Arab, Persian, Turkic, and European cultures. About 1200 A.D., Muslim invaders under Sufi influence, supplanted Hindu and Buddhist dynasties, and converted most of the population of the eastern areas of Bengal to Islam. Since then, Islam has played a crucial role in the region's history and politics. In the 16th century, Bengal was absorbed into the Mughul Empire. \n\nPortuguese traders and missionaries reached Bengal in the latter part of the 15th century. They were followed by representatives of the Dutch, the French, and the British East India Companies. During the 18th and 19th centuries, especially after the defeat of the French in 1757, the British gradually extended their commercial contacts and administrative control beyond Calcutta into the remainder of Bengal and northwesterly up the Ganges River valley. In 1859, the British Crown replaced the East India Company, extending British dominion from Bengal in the east to the Indus River in the west. \n\nIn the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Muslim and Hindu leaders began to press for a greater degree of independence. At the movement's forefront was the largely Hindu Indian National Congress. Growing concern about Hindu domination of the movement led Muslim leaders to form the All-India Muslim League in 1906. In 1913, the League formally adopted the same goal as the Indian National Congress: self-government for India within the British Empire. The Congress and the League were unable, however, to agree on a formula to ensure the protection of Muslim religious, economic, and political rights. Over the next 2 decades, mounting tension between Hindus and Muslims led to a series of bitter intercommunal conflicts. \n\nThe idea of a separate Muslim state emerged in the 1930s. It gained popularity among Indian Muslims after 1936, when the Muslim League suffered a decisive electoral defeat in the first elections under the 1935 constitution. On March 23, 1940, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, leader of the Muslim League, publicly endorsed the "Pakistan Resolution" that called for the creation of an independent state in regions where Muslims were a majority. \n\nAt the end of World War II, the United Kingdom, under considerable international pressure to reduce the size of its overseas empire, moved with increasing urgency to grant India independence. The Congress Party and the Muslim League could not, however, agree on the terms for drafting a constitution or establishing an interim government. In June 1947, the UK declared it would grant full dominion status to two successor states--India and Pakistan. Pakistan would consist of the contiguous Muslim-majority districts of western British India, plus parts of Bengal. The various princely states could freely join either India or Pakistan. These arrangements resulted in a bifurcated Muslim nation separated by more than 1,600 kilometers (1,000 mi.) of Indian territory. West Pakistan comprised four provinces and the capital, Lahore. East Pakistan was formed of a single province. Each province had a legislature. The capital of federal Pakistan was at Islamabad. \n\nPakistan's history for the next 26 years was marked by political instability and economic difficulties. Dominion status was rejected in 1956 in favor of an "Islamic Republic within the Commonwealth." Attempts at civilian political rule failed, and the government imposed martial law between 1958 and 1962 and 1969 and 1972. The government was dominated by Military and Oligarchies all rooted in the West. Significant amount of national revenues went towards developing the West at the expense of the East. The people of the Eastern wing began to feel increasingly dominated and exploited by the West. Frictions between West and East Pakistan culminated in a 1971 army crackdown

i belive those defects came from living in the contamanated area that caused it, the goverment should be accounted for 'for not letting people know the damage that the area could cause .but it;s all about money with those people.. they don't tell nothing unless there court ordered too.i would seriously think of moving to a safer place than there.maybe the next thing your babies will get is cancer or ms..my cousin got ms cleaning offices in iowa yrs ago when they had a tornado there.she cleaned sludge out of office building and papers and all kind of debree.she is 30yrs old in a nurseing home'can't talk walk; or eat,,,,,,please talk to a lawyer or just move if possible,,,,,,,good-luck and god bless you all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The massive ice sheets in the Arctic are melting at alarming rates. This is causing the oceans to rise. Rising ocean levels, an estimated six feet over the next 100 years or sooner, will cause massive devastation and economic catastrophe to population centers worldwide.\n\nMalaria. Dengue Fever. Encephalitis. These names are not usually heard in emergency rooms and doctors’s offices in US. But if we don’t act to curb global warming, they will be. As temperatures rise, disease-carrying mosquitoes and rodents spread, infecting people in their wake. Doctors at the Harvard Medical School have linked recent U.S. outbreaks of dengue (‘breakbone’s) fever, malaria, hantavirus and other diseases directly to climate change.\n\nSuper powerful hurricanes, fueled by warmer ocean temperatures are the “smoking gun” of global warming. Since 1970, the number of category 4 and 5 events has jumped sharply. Hurricane Katrina, in September 2005 almost became a category 6 event. Human activities are adding an alarming amount of pollution to the earth’s atmosphere causing catastrophic shifts in weather patterns. These shifts are causing severe heat, floods and worse.

Yes I did know that the  story of the Flood has been told by several different sources, but it is not a myth as there is proof that the globe was flooded, shels have been found on dry land,  bits of the Ark were found on Mount Ararat! and of course as you mention the tale came out again through several sources in the world from religious sorces as well as non religious sorces

Never quite heard it told that way, but what you may be interested in is the omitted biblical book of enoch.  This banned book from both the bible and the torah explains the reason for the flood and is so out there you can almost understand why it was banned.

Global.\nThere is TONS of physical evidence for a world-wide flood that happened about 4400 years ago - Just like the Bible says.\nThere are several places to get more information about this, but the best website I know of is http://www.drdino.com

Homework?\n\n3 Gorges, it's flooding cities and lots of people's land and homes.\n\nIs it the latest or just the latest well known, I'd guess the second.

It is a cause of soil erosion but not soil pollution. Soil pollution happens due to untreated water

In 1993, there was a tropical storm or something passing through Georgia. There was a huge flood in Northeast Georgia (at least at Lake Rabun). We were stuck in the mountains for a week because the roads leading out were covered in water. It tore up the roads, caused landslides (small ones), destroyed houses, and killed many plants.

Very complicated answer - sorry... you'll need to spend time reading these links.  the term is "erosion" - These will get you started.....\n\nhttp://www.igsb.uiowa.edu/browse/glacflds/glacflds.htm\n\nhttp://www.afrol.com/News2002/nig002_floods_erosion.htm\n\nhttp://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/water/p766.html
