The "1OO-Year Flood"

3.0 stars

View Resource

Description

Overview:
This site describes how and when 100-year floods occur. It states that flood designations are based on statistical averages, not on the number of years between big floods. It also suggests that it would make more sense to refer to 100-year floods as 1-in-100 chance floods. This resource is a United States Geological Survey (USGS) Fact Sheet. It can be used in teaching quantitative skills.

Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Superior (3)

Graphic literacy, a glossary and a photo undergird the content, which I chose partly for its correlation to the 2014 GED.
