Q.44-48)

Read RC Passage to Answer:

Floods are normal events that cause damage. As rivers carve and shape the landscape, they build broad floodplains, level expanses that are periodically inundated. A “10-year flood” would be expected to occur once in every ten years; a “100-year flood” would be expected to occur once every century. The biggest economic loss from floods is usually not the buildings and property they carry away but rather, the contamination they cause. Many human activities like paving roads and parking lots reduces water infiltration into the soil and speeds the rate of runoff into streams and lakes. Even more than development, though, flood-control structures have seperated flood plains from rivers. Levees and flood walls are built to contain water within river banks, and river channels are dredged and deepened to allow water to recede faster. Every flood-control structure simply transfers the problem down-stream. However, the water has to go somewhere. If it doesn’t soak into the ground upstream, it will simply exacerbate floods somewhere downstream-leading to more levee development, and then to more flooding farther downstream, and so on.

Q.44) What do broad floodplains, created by rivers often lead to?

[1] Higher mountain formation

[2] Damage soil condition

[3] Periodic inundation

[4] Formation of lakes

Correct Answer: 3

Q.45) How do flood control structures like levees and flood walls affect downstream areas?

[1] They prevent floods

[2] They reduce flooding in all areas

[3] They transfer the problem downstream, excerbating floods there

[4] They increase the absorption of water upstream

Correct Answer: 3

Q.46) “100 year flood” :

[1] Will happen every 10 years.

[2] Will never happen twice in the same year.

[3] May happen more frequently than a “10-year flood”.

[4] May happen once every century

Correct Answer: 4

Q.47) What is the biggest economic loss from floods typically due to?

[1] Destruction of buildings

[2] Loss of life

[3] Contamination caused by flood waters

[4] Erosion of river banks

Correct Answer: 3

Q.48) How do human activities like paving the roads and parking lots influence floods?

[1] They reduce the severity of floods

[2] They speed up the rate of run off into streams and lakes

[3] They decrease the volume of water discharge after a storm

[4] They have no influence on floods

Correct Answer: 2
