How does a flood plain happen?

A flood plain is a flat or gently sloping area near a river or stream that is prone to flooding. It forms when the river overflows its banks and deposits sediment on the adjacent land. Over time, this repeated flooding creates the flat surface of a flood plain.


Is there a difference between a 100 year flood plain and a flood plain?

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.

Which state is most likely to experience a hurricane?

entire states are rarely affected by flood, they are much more commonly localized events. Places prone to hurricanes or next to large rives are more likely to flood due to seasonal rains. Low points in areas that rain a lot can have flash floods from water that collects there. subterranean geology can also play an important role as to how fast water can drain, and therefor how much water has to fall to flood an area.
