iT DEPOSITS A THIN LAYER OF NEW SOIL OVER THE OLD SOIL WITH FRESH MINERALS, ETC.
==========
The conditions for flooding often collect a lot of debris along the way and stir up the materials that have sunk to the bottom of the river (which are usually nutrient and organic rich). All this material gets carried along and deposits along the edges of the flooded area, replenishing nutrients and organic components of the soil.

Which soil condition usually exists when flooding occurs during a rainstorm?
When flooding occurs during a rainstorm, the soil condition is typically saturated with water. This saturation prevents the soil from absorbing additional water, leading to surface runoff and flooding.
How does soil effect flooding?
Soil can affect flooding by influencing how quickly water is absorbed or runs off the surface. Healthy soil with good structure and organic matter can help absorb more water, reducing surface runoff and the likelihood of flooding. Conversely, compacted or degraded soil can increase runoff and contribute to flooding by preventing water from infiltrating the ground.
Why is flooding a natural process of renewal for the natural environment?
because the flooding is renewing the soil in the ground
