=
//A flood is an overflow of water. A normally dry area becomes covered in water. It can destroy crops, houses, possessions, food, roads, bridges and land.// ======

=
//A flood is a rising of the water levels in a town or city because of blocked drains. A flood affects us by destroying our houses, possessions and killing our family members.// ======

=
//The countries nearest to the equator would have been more affected by droughts because its hotter there. For example the nothern part of Australia. As for floods, I predict China. I predict that China would be most likely to flood because of the Yanksee river. Also because of agriculture. People chopping down trees causes the soil to collapse, causing erotions. So when it does rain, the Yanksee river floods. Because of the huge population of China, people are more prone to flooding. I also predict that any country or city below sea level are prone to flooding for example Venice and Holland.// ======

=
//Floods can occur in New Zealand from surface road flooding to river flooding. Because New Zealand is such a small country surrounded by water, floods can occur especially during heavy rain, storms and high tides. New Zealand gets droughts too because of the 'climate change'// ======

=
//New Zealands main export product are meat and dairy. If we had a drought, the meat and dairy industry would really really suffer because the animals would have no food and starve. The cows wouldnt produce any milk to make the dairy products.// ======

=
//Some problems that floods cause are the wreckage of possesions and lives. The problems that a drought causes are the wreckage of crops, land and dehydration.// ======

=
//To help prevent droughts you can conserve water. For example turning off the tap when not using, taking shorter showers, fixing leaking taps and water gardens in the evenings not in the heat of the day. To help prevent floods, you need to do things such as prevent erosions, making sure leaves and rubbish don't block drains along the streets and make sure their dams are regularly checked and maintained.// ======

=
//Well, we can throw away our plastics and rubbish in bins instead of just leaving it on the road and block our drains.// ======

=
//If I was stuck in a flood I would try not to panic, listen to the emergency people, stay away from hazards and have a survival kit with me.// ======

=
//If I was in a flood, the first thing I would do is get together with my family, pack food and emergency items and try to get to higher ground.// ======

=
//I would expect that the effects would differ depending on the geographical location. It would also depend on whether it is under sea level and if there are rivers near by.// ====== //Yes, because it depends on where the country is and how high their sea levels and humidity levels are.//
