The Stretch Reflex : (See Figure 13.15). The stretch reflex in its simplest form involves only 2 neurons, and is therefore sometimes called a 2-neuron reflex. The two neurons are a sensory and a motor neuron. The sensory neuron is stimulated by stretch (extension) of a muscle.
Flash floods are the most common flood type in normally-dry channels in arid zones, known as arroyos in the southwest United States and many other names elsewhere. In that setting, the first flood water to arrive is depleted as it wets the sandy stream bed.
Floods are caused by rain, but flooding is more about how much rain falls, how fast it falls, and what happens to the rain after it hits the ground. The most common type of flood that happens during a thunderstorm is a flash flood.Most flash floods are caused be slow moving thunderstorms, thunderstorms that repeatedly move over the same area, or heavy rains from a tropical storm or hurricane.he most common type of flood that happens during a thunderstorm is a flash flood.
