Global warming is related to climate and is a global phenomenon. Even though there are regional cold snaps (weather), the average global temperature (climate) continues to increase even during different regions' winter months, the two scientists went on to explain.
It is estimated that groundwater flooding affects a few hundred thousand properties in the UK. Groundwater flooding occurs as a result of water rising up from the underlying rocks or from water flowing from abnormal springs.
Conversely, when sinkholes become plugged, they. can cause flooding by capturing surface-water flow and can create. new wetlands, ponds, and lakes. Most of Florida is prone to sinkhole formation because it is under-. lain by thick carbonate deposits that are susceptible to dissolution. by circulating ground water. Floridaâs principal source of freshwater, ground water, moves into and out of storage in the carbonate aqui-.
