The flood plain of a river is an area very near the river which floods regularly, generally every 1 to 2 years. The 100-year flood plain is a larger area which has a 1 in 100 chance of flooding in any given year. Over the long term this would average out to a flood every century.
Yes it is.

Really depends on the place you are looking at.
The Climate of a region annually encompasses each and all of It's Four Seasons.
100 Year Floodplain - 1% chance of flooding in a single year. It's basically a guarantee that your property will flood at least once in 100 years, statistically speaking.
Generally real estate located in a 100 year flood plain zone is not taxed at a different real estate tax rate. With flood insurance readily available at affordable prices, at least in the U.S., home buyers will pay as much for a home or business in a 100 year flood plain zone as comparable properties that are not located in flood-prone areas. Ask your local assessor in your area to be sure.
If you see, you can usually tell the difference between a 100 year old man and a 50 year old man. First of all a one year old flood is more larger and powerful than a 50 year old flood. 50 year old floods are smaller and less ferocious. Hope this helped! I am only a 9 year old kid that goes to Robertson State School in Queensland Brisbane.
It would depend on the length of time for which you make the prediction. The chance of a 100 year flood occurring is 1% in any given year, 9.5% in any given decade, and 39% in any given 50-year period.
between June and September
It could be marshland, or more probably a river's flood plain.
A river floods when it has too much water in it, this is usually when large quantities of rain fall with its basin, most rivers have a flood plain that without interference will flood at least once a year.
The River Nile flooded every year between June and September. However with the construction of the Aswan Dam it meant that from 1970 the annual flood is controlled.
No. A 100-year flood is larger than a 50-year flood for any given area.
Generally, this will depend on the circumstances of where the home is located, the type of home, its age, the riders you have on it for contents and whether you have chosen replacement costs, whether it is in a flood plain and so on. In my personal experience, it has been around $1,000 a year without being in a flood plain or having excessive contents.
