The analysis

The claim specifies that periodic floods are caused by seasonal heavy precipitation, rapid snowmelt, or tidal surges. Multiple retrieved papers directly discuss and model flooding driven by heavy precipitation and snowmelt, validating these mechanisms. No papers refute the claim, so the balance is supported.
