Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flash floods are sudden localized floods of large volume and short duration, often triggered by heavy rainstorms. Sheetwash refers to the thin layer of unchanneled surface water flow that occurs over areas of bare soil or rock, while dry flooding and channel erosion are not accurate descriptions of this type of flood. Stream piracy pertains to the diversion of a stream from its original course by erosion.
