Beijing will usher in the biggest rainstorm in flood season, which geological disasters may be induced?

According to China Weather Network, the heaviest rainstorm will occur in Beijing in August 12. What geological disasters may be induced in the face of such heavy rain?

First of all, the most important nature is the flood disaster. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the worst flood we experienced was undoubtedly 1998. That year, it was because of the heavy rain that the flow of the Yangtze River increased sharply, and finally a very serious flood occurred. That year, the flood was large in scale, wide in influence, long in duration and caused great losses. Our government and people also made great efforts together, and even many flood fighters died, and finally the disaster was controlled. Floods have occurred from time to time in recent years, but as serious as 1998, there are basically no such losses.

Secondly, there are mudslides. Debris flow generally occurs in mountainous areas or other areas with deep valleys and steep terrain, and is caused by rainstorm, blizzard or other natural disasters. Debris flow has the characteristics of strong suddenness, fast velocity, large material capacity, large flow and strong destructive power, which often destroys traffic facilities and even villages and towns, causing economic losses and even threatening people's lives. However, mudslides usually occur in mountainous areas. Nothing will happen as long as you stay at home.

Finally, there are landslides. Landslide refers to the natural phenomenon that soil or rock mass slides down the slope for various reasons, and rainstorm is also a factor inducing it. Once the landslide happens, it can be said that the harm is very great, which will cause great losses and even destruction to industry, agriculture and people's life and health.

To sum up, there are still many natural disasters caused by heavy rain, so we should pay more attention to them. However, there is no need to worry too much. After all, all walks of life are taking action against this rainstorm, and we have accumulated enough experience in the face of it. I believe we can survive this rainstorm safely.
