In general, a phobia refers to “extreme [and] irrational fear reactions” (Powell, Honey, & Symbaluk, 2013, p. 190). Phobias are developed through a process called classical conditioning. Classical conditioning involves “a process in which one stimulus that does not elicit a certain response is associated with a second stimulus that does; as a result, the first stimulus also comes to elicit a response” (Powell et al., 2013, pp. 109-110). The process of classical conditioning follows the procedure

The first reason that contributes to the river flooding so often is the ice melting in the spring

that run though our state that are extremely susceptible to flooding that may cause significant property damage and loss of life (Arizona's geologic hazard center, 2015). Arizona experiences sudden and severe thunderstorms as well and is home to both regional and flash floods (Arizona's geologic hazard center, 2015). Through my research I found that there is a flood map available to the public to identify and determine

Introduction Flooding is an extreme climatic event that generates devastation and economic losses all around the world. The extreme climatic events are increasing more severe and frequent due to the climate change. The climate change is a global scale, the mean annual surface temperature has increased over the past century by 0.6°C (IPCC, 2007).Climate models and theoretical arguments further indicate that extreme precipitation events will continue to increase with rises in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations
