A megaflood is a flood which suddenly releases a huge amount of water.
In geomorphology it is sometimes called an outburst flood.
At the end of the last ice age, many large floods were caused by the collapse of ice sheets or glaciers which formed the dams of glacial lakes.
Examples of older outburst floods are known from the geological past of the Earth.
Landslides, lahars, and volcanic dams can block rivers and create lakes.
When the rock or earth barrier collapses, or is eroded, this triggers a flood.
Lakes also form behind glacial moraines, which can collapse and create outburst floods.
The Black Sea (~7,600 years ago)
It is claimed that a rising sea flood led to refilling of the freshwater glacial Black Sea with water from the Aegean.
It is described as "a violent rush of salt water into a depressed fresh-water lake in a single catastrophe that has been the inspiration for the flood mythology".
The marine incursion was caused by the rising level of the Mediterranean about 7,600 years ago.
It is the subject of debate among geologists.
The existence of the flood is not certain, and the theory that it was the basis for later flood myths is not proven.
The Caspian and Black Seas (around 16,000 years ago)
A theory proposed by Andrey Tchepalyga of the Russian Academy of Sciences dates the flooding of the Black Sea basin to an earlier time and from a different cause.
According to Tchepalyga, global warming beginning from about 16,000 years ago caused the melting of the Scandinavian ice sheet.
This caused a massive river discharge which flowed into the Caspian Sea.
The Caspian basin could not contain all the floodwater, which flowed into the ancient Black Sea basin.
This would have flooded large areas that were previously settled or used for hunting.
Tchepalyga suggests this may have formed the basis for legends of the great Deluge.
English Channel floods
During an earlier glacial maximum, the exit from the North Sea was blocked to the north by an ice dam, and the water flowing out of rivers backed up into a vast lake on the bed of what is now the North Sea.
A gently upfolding chalk ridge linked the Weald of Kent and Artois, perhaps some 30 metres (100 feet) higher than the current sea level.
This let loose a catastrophic flood which diverted the Rhine into the English Channel and separated Britain from the continent of Europe.
A sonar study of the sea bed of the English Channel showed unmistakable signs of a megaflood on the English Channel seabed.
Refilling the Mediterranean (5.3 million years ago)
A catastrophic flood refilled the Mediterranean Sea 5.3 million years ago.
The flood occurred when Atlantic waters found their way through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean basin, which was then a salt lake and salt bed.
Glacial lake floods in North America
In North America during glacial maximum, there were no Great Lakes as we know them.
but "proglacial" (ice-frontage) lakes formed and shifted.
The most famous of these proglacial lakes was Lake Agassiz.
Melting ice caused a series of great floods from Lake Agassiz.
Massive amounts of freshwater was added to the world's oceans.
The last of the North American proglacial lakes, north of the present Great Lakes, reached its largest volume around 8,500 years ago, when joined with Lake Agassiz.
But its outlet was blocked by the great wall of the glaciers and it drained by tributaries into the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers far to the south.
About 8,300 to 7,700 years ago, the ice-dam failed catastrophically.
Lake Ojibway's beach terraces show that it was  above sea level.
The volume of Lake Ojibway is estimated to have been about 163,000 cubic kilometres, more than enough water to cover a flattened-out Antarctica with a sheet of water  deep.
Overflow of lakes formed by landslides
A landslide dam on Sichuan's Dadu River burst and caused a flood on 10 June 1786.
The flood extended 1400 km downstream and killed 100,000 people.
This was one of the worst landslide-related disasters in history.

A major general (or two-star general) is a rank in an army.
It is between the ranks of lieutenant general and brigadier general.
A major general usually commands a division.
It comes from the older rank of sergeant major general.
The disappearance of the "sergeant" in the title explains the apparently confusing system whereby a lieutenant general outranks a major general (although a major outranks a lieutenant, a lieutenant outranks a sergeant-major.)
A Major general is addressed as "general".
The Caledonian orogeny was a mountain building era.
It left its mark in the northern parts of the British Isles, the Scandinavian Mountains, Svalbard, eastern Greenland, northern Europe and the eastern United States.

It was caused by the closure of the Iapetus Ocean when the continents and lands of Laurentia, Baltica and Avalonia collided.
The Caledonian orogeny is named after Caledonia, the Latin name for Scotland.
The name is not used for an absolute period of time: it applies only to the series of mountain-building events.

Following is a 1998 British drama thriller movie directed by Christopher Nolan.
It stars Jeremy Theobald, Alex Haw, Lucy Russell, and John Nolan.
It was released on September 12, 1998.
This was Christopher Nolan's first movie.
It tells the story of a young man who follows strangers around the streets of London and is drawn into a criminal underworld when he fails to keep his distance.
As Christopher Nolan's debut feature, it was designed to be as inexpensive as possible to make: scenes were heavily rehearsed so that just one or two takes were needed, thus economising on 16 mm film stock, the production's greatest expense, and for which Nolan was paying from his salary.
Without expensive professional lighting equipment, Nolan mostly used available light.
Apart from writing, directing, and photographing the film, Nolan also helped in editing and production.
Instead of fighting against the limitations of the production, Christopher Nolan allowed them to dictate everything from the film’s structure, to its handheld shooting style, to the 16mm film it was shot on.. to black-and-white stock and setting the scene during the day and place the characters next to windows or in natural sunlight as much as possible.
Nolan has explained it in a detailed interview with VICE.
How Christopher Nolan Shot His No-Budget Film,’Following’
Memento is a 2000 American mystery-thriller movie written and directed by Christopher Nolan, and produced by Suzanne and Jennifer Todd.
The movie's script was based on a pitch by Jonathan Nolan, who wrote the 2001 story "Memento Mori" from the concept.
Guy Pearce stars as a man who, as a result of an injury, has anterograde amnesia (the inability to form new memories) and has short-term memory loss approximately every fifteen minutes.
He is searching for the people who attacked him and killed his wife, using an intricate system of Polaroid photographs and tattoos to track information he cannot remember.
The movie is presented as two different sequences of scenes interspersed during the movie: a series in black-and-white that is shown chronologically, and a series of color sequences shown in reverse order (simulating for the audience the mental state of the protagonist).
The two sequences meet at the end of the movie, producing one complete and cohesive narrative.
Memento premiered at the 57th Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2000, and was released in the United States on March 16, 2001.
It was acclaimed by critics, who praised its nonlinear narrative structure and motifs of memory, perception, grief, and self-deception, and earned $39.9 million over a $4.5 million budget.
Memento received numerous accolades, including Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing.
The movie is now widely regarded as one of Nolan's finest works and one of the best movies of the 2000s.
In 2017, the United States Library of Congress deemed the movie and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
