They occur in a city that is lower or slanted. They can also occur where there is a lot of rainfall. In some places where there is a river, lake, or ocean, it is likely to flood.

The type of land that is prone to flooding are broad and flat usually situated on the banks of a river or main waterway. Rivers that flood are regarded in three different stages. They are:-

ONE:- Water comes off the mountains, eroding the beds and banks of the river as it flows.

TWO:- This type river travels through broad valleys which slows the current of the river down. If the current is slow it will transport less material down the river.

THREE:- Flood-plain stage. Little if not any erosion takes place most of the material that is carried in the current is suspended and deposited to the form a flood plain.
