Document Summary
Levees as well as pumps that attempted to keep water out as well as dry the city once water got in. The levees could only withstand a category 3 storm. The wetlands would absorb the water from flooding rivers, replenishing them. When the levees were built, they kept the river from flooding, the wetlands became starved of new soil and started to disappear. Areas near the water, below sea level, near old wetlands, and near the broken levees. Slidell, avery estates, lakeshore estates, oak harbor, eden isles and north shore beach were inundated by the storm surge that extended over six miles inland lesson 9: wildfires. The wildfire process: wildfire = an uncontrolled fire in a forest, scrubland, or grassland, the three key limiting factors include, fuel,whichcanincludeplantmaterial,humanmaterial,andstructures o oxygen,whichisfoundreadilyintheatmosphere, heat,whichincludeslightningandhumansources, phases of the wildfire process, pre-ignition. Preheating and pyrolysis (dividing fuel molecules and creating fuel gases for ignition) exists o combustion.
