    Floods due to heavy------

    • Wind

    • Rain

    • Earthquake

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Rain
    Explanation
    Floods occur due to heavy rain when the amount of rainfall exceeds the capacity of the land to absorb it. When the ground becomes saturated, the excess water flows over the surface, causing rivers and streams to overflow their banks and inundating surrounding areas. Heavy rain can lead to flash floods, river floods, and urban flooding, causing significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and loss of life. Therefore, heavy rain is the most likely cause of floods.

    In a dog bite, there is a risk of infection through the blood. When a dog bites, its teeth can puncture the skin and introduce bacteria from its mouth into the bloodstream. This can lead to infections such as cellulitis or even more serious conditions like sepsis.

    The given answer is false because there are actually two main kinds of disasters: natural disasters and man-made disasters. Natural disasters occur due to natural forces such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc., while man-made disasters are caused by human activities like industrial accidents, terrorism, wars, etc. Therefore, disasters are not only man-made but can also be caused by natural forces.

    In a dog bites there is a risk of infection through the bones

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In a dog bite, there is a risk of infection through the skin and soft tissues surrounding the bite, but not through the bones. The bacteria present in a dog's mouth can cause infection if they enter the bloodstream through the bite wound. However, bones are not typically involved in this process. Therefore, the statement that there is a risk of infection through the bones in a dog bite is false.
