Formulate the floods hypothesis​

Explanation:

Hypothesis: Floods most often occur near large rivers.After plotting out the recent floods from the data we collected, we found that most of the floods we found were in the United States. Therefore, we decided to plot just on the U.S. so we would better be able to see the individual straights and rivers that exist and see if our hypothesis would hold up. After we did plot the floods, we found that almost all of them fell near a river, especially on the Mississippi River. This makes sense because if water levels rise due to rainfall or another cause, a flood can easily occur. Some of our recorded floods occurred not on a river but instead on Lake Michigan including the flood that occurred in Milwaukee and Chicago. For all of the other recorded floods though, we were able to prove our hypothesis because all of the floods fall near major rivers that exist in the United States. Though some of the floods
