• See also Causes of the Flood. (These pages may be merged.)

One of the two causes of the Flood. We are told that the phenomenon occurred, but we are not told what caused it to occur. (That could have been a naturally-occurring event, such as a meteor strike. But we aren't the explanation. We are given the information we need, not what we want.)

Genesis 7:1-24

The fountains of the deep (underground water sources) burst open. This would have been accompanied by massive tectonic activity - earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.

The sky's "windows" were opened. The rain came plummeting to the earth - not a gentle rain or even a "normal" downpour.

Genesis 8:1-22

God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided. The deep's fountains and the sky's windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
