The Mississippi River floods periodically, with significant floods occurring roughly every few years, although the frequency can vary based on weather patterns and upstream conditions. Major floods have been recorded, such as those in 1927, 1937, and 1993, while smaller floods can happen more frequently during heavy rain events or spring snowmelt. Flood control measures, such as levees and reservoirs, are in place to mitigate flooding, but they can still occur, particularly in sections of the river prone to high water. Overall, the river's flooding is influenced by a combination of natural and human factors.
No, the area drained by a river is a river basin or drainage basin. The flood plain is in the lower valley reaches, where heavy rain can cause the river to flood, often bursting over flood defences, and for the water to flood over a large area.

I do not know about "Lake Catherine" but Lake Ferguson used to be the MS River. Because of flooding, (Flood of '27) the river was re-routed to its current location. The north end of now Lake Ferguson was closed and the south end attaches to the MS River.
It is referred to as the Flood Plain.
Yes, the Tigris river has flood with the Euphrates river.
30% likely because Mississippi doesn't get much rain and with that being said the Yazoo river doesn't flood very often.
no there was no la river before the flood the flood is what caused the city to create the la river.
A river flood is more common. ok
Yes, the Tigris river has flood with the Euphrates river.
The River Yangtze floods roughly every 2 years, but most of these floods are not major.
It depends on the region, how much rainfall the region gets, and other factors. For example, a place in Death Valley probably wouldn't flood often. But a place that gets a lot of rainfall and is close to a river would flood more often.
