"question": "Based on the observed heavy rainfall events and the subsequent temperature time series recorded the day after, which of the following statements correctly relates the effects of the flash flood on temperature dynamics in the aftermath of such weather conditions?\n\nA) Following heavy rainfall, the temperatures tend to rise significantly due to increased solar radiation, which is common in localized flood events.\n\nB) The rapid evaporation due to standing water generally leads to immediate cooling in the atmosphere and results in low temperatures in the subsequent days.\n\nC) Flooding causes a drastic reduction in soil temperature, leading to a prolonged cooling effect, often resulting in similar low temperatures for several days afterward.\n\nD) Persistent thunderstorms and heavy rain typically increase ambient temperatures shortly after due to cloud cover and humidity, as observed in post-flooding scenarios.", | |
