Rivers flood in the spring, after snow accumulated over the winter begins to melt. Rivers also flood after heavy rain events.
It does not flood often as most rainforests drain quite well into major rivers, but there are times that rainfall is so great that the rivers expand greatly in width to accommodate the water. This would be flooding.
Not all rivers flood most ones that are on flat ground and have soil that can't absorb the water will flood
ganga, yamuna and brahmaputra are the 3 rivers affected frequently by flood >>>>
They are often full to the brim including reservoirs. Another term often related to them is near flood stage.
Most countries that are low lying and have rivers that flood occasionally usually have most floods. For example: Bangladesh, China, etc. Hope this helps :) .
Any river anywhere in the world can flood.
What do you mean? Like a flood? Or are you referring to the speed of the current? Yes. Rivers can flood but I hope that's not your question.
Well, it depends on the depth of the river. If it is shallow it will flood more regularly like every 9-10 days but if it is quite deep it will flood about every month. Hope this helps!!!
Often, flood plains are where the most fertile soil is. The rich alluvial soil washes down from mountains in rivers and streams, bringing with it rich nutrients which are perfect for growing crops. Flood plains, being close to rivers, also offer easy transportation of goods up and down waterways.
Streams and rivers can usually cope with excess rain. However, after a prolonged period of heavy rain, rivers sometimes burst their banks and flooding occurs.
