After the flood had subside, what are some example of settlement that is left in there?

Which flood, where, you have to be more clear to get an answer with meaning if your talking about Noah the Bible states the period. However Noah is based on earlier legend some think!

There are sections of the river (in Quebec) where the tides cause the river to flow upstream.  This still happens today.

That depends if the government decides to make the same mistake again. It's the sad truth that very rarely does mankind actually learn anything from there mistakes. I find that rather pathetic. But maybe that's just me. I just wonder how many times that place is gong to be flooded and rebuilt before they remember their physics 101. When you build a city below sea level chances are, it will flood in a hurricane!!!

I'd check river banks, lake shores, and road cuts in the coastal plain.  There was one place near Choke Canyon where the ground was literally covered with petrified wood...

There are pictures that some people claim is of Noah's arc covered by snow.  Most people who have actually studied them think that it is more likely that the object under the snow is just a rock formation.\n\nIf the world was ever really covered by a flood that large, there would be evidence in the rock layers around the world.  That evidence has never been found.\n\nIt is more likely that the story in the Bible is based on local flooding in that part of the world such as the flooding of the Black Sea, tidal waves from volcanic explosions in the Mediterranean, or river flooding on the Tigris and Euphrates.\n\nI've heard one story about the possibility of a tidal wave carrying a boat to the slopes of Mt. Ararat, but that seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

Like the mess looks.Kind of want to just destroy it and start over.\nKind of like the flood.

I only know of Grasmere and Ambleside, both of which have lakes with rushes growing in them. Neither place would consider itself a village, and it's possible that other places have jumped on the band-waggon to attract tourists since I left.\n\nRushes were placed on the floor in churches to absorb the muck and dirt brought in by the worshippers. When it came time for the rushes to be harvested the churches were cleaned out and fresh rushes were laid on the floor.

Yes. Read the story of Noah and the great flood. There are far too many disprepenceis to list here, but I assure you that it can be proven to be untrue.

As far as I know, they all still exist, although some of the land may have been washed away.  The area near Plaquemines parish, Jefferson Parish, and Orleans parish were hard hit by Katrina.  Now they are just a little "Poorish".

Here's a home that was a stop on the underground railroad that is still standing and open to the public.\nhttp://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/underground/oh12.htm

I think that what you are asking about might be better called coastal deposition.\n\nOver the span of geologic time the sea level has changed dramatically. As the sea level has moved up and down over time the coastal erosion process has created continental shelves that are covered in deposits eroded from dry land around some continents. This process has also helped shape the coastlines of the continents. \n\nOne of the more spectacular examples of coastal deposition are river deltas. The sediment carried by the river is deposited as the flow of river water slows. This tends to sort the sediments according to the energy level of the water that is flowing into the open ocean. First larger grains like gravel and pebbles settle down, and as the river slows, sand, and finally clay size particles settle out of the water. Many river deltas have built up sediment deposits that are several miles thick and cover areas as large as some states. Most of southern Louisiana is a river delta deposit. \n\nAlong many coasts there is a predominant wind direction that helps to build coast long-shore currents. These currents move parallel to the coastline and will cause sediment accumulations (from rivers) such as sand bars and islands to slowly migrate in one direction. Much of the sand on beaches is actually slowly migrating along the shore. As heavier winter waves move the sand offshore, the sand also tends to move along the shore and sometimes temporarily moves back up onto the beach at a new location. \n\nAnother geologic process that is involved in coastal change is both uplift and subsidence. Uplift is taking place on some coasts due to tectonic plate motion. Other coasts are subsiding, or sinking, due to both faulting and slow compaction of underlying sediments. This sort of subsidence is taking place along the Gulf Coast of the US where there are large growth faults that parallel the coast that are sinking towards the Gulf. Sediment deposited thousands and millions of years ago is still settling in some areas and this leads to loss of coastal wetlands and rising local sea level. \n\nIn other areas coastlines are being changed by local erosion of uplifted sediments (e.g. California). Landslides carry hillsides down to the coastline. Another change in many coastlines is being caused by a geologic process called isostacy. As glaciers accumulated across North America during the last ice age, they weighed down that part of the earth's crust and caused it to sink into the asthenosphere. The glaciers melted long ago, but the areas that were covered by glaciers are still rising. This creates a sort of teeter-totter effect, where some coastlines like parts of the East Coast of the US and the Louisiana coast are sinking. \n\nInformation on isostatic rebound:\nhttp://www.homepage.montana.edu/~geol445/hyperglac/isostasy1/\n\nMississippi River Delta:\nhttp://www.lacoast.gov/geography/basins/mr/\n\nExplanation of long shore drift:\nhttp://www.cofc.edu/CGOInquiry/longshoredrift.htm\n\nGood explanation of barrier islands:\nhttp://www3.csc.noaa.gov/beachnourishment/html/geo/barrier.htm\n\nA very good illustration of differential erosion in a coastal setting:\nhttp://www.rgs.edu.sg/events/geotrip/stack.html\n\nUN Coastal Types:\nhttp://www.oceansatlas.com/servlet/CDSServlet?status=ND0yNzYwJmN0bl9pbmZvX3ZpZXdfc2l6ZT1jdG5faW5mb192aWV3X2Z1bGwmNj1lbiYzMz0qJjM3PWtvcw~~

Cnatthink of one but try some geography sites\n\nold rivers have lots of ox bows and meanders from sidecutting \n\nnewer rivers are generally straighter and dont have as large floodplain and also maybe more braided

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

The most famous such example is Abu Simbel in Egypt. The entire temple was carved out of a mountain -- and almost unbelievably, the entire temple was cut out of the mountain and moved to another location in the 1970's, to prevent it being submerged by the Aswan High Dam.

if you search on yahoo maps or mapquest, you can put in the place and it will bring up examples of what/where it may be. \n\nIt is very helpful. \n\ngood luck.

Katrina wiped out a few.\nThey're regrouping.

I agree that the answer is C, and that the question is poorly worded.\n\nRapidly moving water can carry along particles in a mixture of sizes.  As it slows down, the largest particles settle out first, and the smallest ones last.  The experiment with the jar suggests this, by showing what happens in completely still water.\n\nDeltas are expected to be graded with the most gravelly deposits farthest up-river, sandy in the middle, and the most silty deposits nearest the sea.\n\nFlood plains are expected to be silty because the slowly-moving spreading floodwater can pick up the smallest particles but not the larger ones.
