56、s are second only to fire as the most commonof all natural disasters. They occur almost everywhere in the world, resulting in widespread damageand even death. As a result, scientists have long tried to perfect their ability to predict floods. So far, the best that scie ntists can do is to recog nize

57、 the pote ntial for floodi ng in certain conditions. There are a number of conditions, from deep snow on the ground to human error, that cause flooding. When deep snow melts it creates a large amount of water. Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods, when it occurs together with heavy rain and

58、 sudde n warmer weather it can lead to serious flooding. If there is a fast snow melt on top of frozen or very wet gro und, floodi ng is more likely to occur tha n whe n the ground is not frozen. Frozen ground or ground that is very wet and already filled with water cannot absorb（ 吸收）the additional

59、water created by the melting snow. Melting snow also con tributes to high water levels in rivers and streams. When ever rivers are already at their full capacity（ 容 量）of water, heavy rains will result in the rivers overflow ing and floodi ng the surrounding land. Rivers that are covered in ice can a

60、lso lead to floodi ng. When ice begi ns to melt, the surface of the ice cracks（開裂）and breaks into large pieces. These pieces of ice move and float down 11 the river. They can form a dam in the river, causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream. If the dam breaks suddenly, th
