How Does COVID-19 Spread?
Explanation : Firstly, the virus is supposed to spread primarily
from person to person. These viruses can spread between persons
who are in contact approximately in about 6 feet.
Secondly, COVID-19 can also range via respiratory dewdrops
produced while an infected person coughs or sneezes. These drops
can land in the noses or mouths of persons who are nearby. Or
they can feasibly be inhaled into the lungs.
Thirdly, it is spread by any human interaction with infected objects
or surfaces. It may be likely that a person can catch up COVID-19
by touching objects devouring the virus. Then they drop the virus
into their own nose, mouth, or eyes.

Flooding
• Explanation :
The process of natural flooding is preceded by rain which falls
to the surface of the earth. Then the rain water is absorbed
by the ground surface and flows to the lower place. Once that
condition happens, evaporation and the water appear to the
surface of the land. Flooding can be disastrous for humans
when floods happen in an area that people live because the
water carries along objects like houses, bridges, cars,
furniture and even people.

Flooding
• Conclusion / closing:
On the other hand, the process of non natural flooding is
usually caused by bad habits of humans who do not care about
the environment, such as littering that can make water flow
clogged. This makes the water deposited in landfills which
gradually becomes more common. When water reservoirs can
no longer hold water discharge, the water then overflows out
the land and cause flooding.
