Buildings which are constructed with earth based materials or using stones and bricks are highly prone to floods
Areas prone to floods include those near rivers or lakes, in low-lying regions, coastal areas, and regions with poor drainage systems or heavy rainfall. Urban areas with extensive pavement or concrete surfaces can also experience flooding due to increased runoff.
normally coastal areas and the places with heavy rain fall are prone to flodds and also the areas near by rivers and lakes may also be prone to flodded regions because when it rains heavily in other area,through rivers and lakes the water comes through the river and flooding takes place in india assam, andhra, tamil nadu,etc................are affected to floods
Because a lot of water can run to them at times without enough drainage for the water to escape.
They mostly happen in south America or in Mexico where the land is dry is where the floods occur.Floods most commonly occur near a river or a coastal area, they commonly occur near low lying areas and areas below sea level. Floods can also be contributed to by mountain runoff

Yes, floods occur as a result of heavy rain storms, typhoons, and tsunamis. Areas are also prone to bouts of flash floods during heavy rain, and it is also common for rivers to overflow into the surrounding areas.

Most floods occur in low-lying areas near rivers, coastal regions, or areas prone to heavy rainfall or snowmelt. Urban areas with poor drainage systems can also be at risk of flooding. Flooding can happen anywhere, but certain regions are more prone to experiencing floods due to their geography and climate.
Floods happen most commonly in regions with high rainfall, near rivers, or in areas prone to storm surges or flash flooding. Areas with poor drainage systems and low-lying regions are also more susceptible to flooding.
Some places commonly affected by flooding include low-lying coastal regions, areas near rivers and lakes, urban areas with poor drainage systems, and regions prone to heavy rainfall or tropical storms. These areas are at higher risk of experiencing flash floods, river floods, or coastal flooding.
