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 tha tis carried in the current is suspended and deposited to the form a flood plain.

Floods are typically named based on the region or specific location where they occur. Sometimes, floods may be given names based on the river or body of water that is experiencing the flooding. In some cases, the severity or impact of the flood event may also influence how it is named.
Natural floods occur due to excessive rainfall, melting snow, or overflowing rivers, leading to the inundation of land. Man-made floods are typically caused by human activities such as dam failures, urbanization, deforestation, or inadequate stormwater management, resulting in increased surface runoff and flooding.
Yes, floods can occur in the Amazon rainforest, particularly during the rainy season when heavy rainfall can cause rivers to overflow their banks. These floods can have significant impacts on both the ecosystem and local communities living in the region.
In my community, thunderstorms with heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning are the most common severe weather events. Occasionally, tornadoes and flash floods can also occur.
Floods typically occur along streams and rivers, when rain or snow melt adds more water than the channel can contain. Other floods can be caused along coastlines by tidal surges, such as tropical storms and tsunamis.
Most flash floods occur after late afternoon rainfall.
Floods mostly occur when there is a LARGE amount of rainfal for a long amount of time.
