Explanation:

1. The Yazoo Basin is located along the Mississippi River. It is a well - known low - lying area adjacent to the river.
2. Mississippi is prone to floods due to its river systems, hurricanes because of its coastal location, and tornadoes as it is in the tornado - prone region of the United States. Blizzards are less common in Mississippi's climate, and while earthquakes can occur, they are not as prevalent as the other three.
3. When hurricanes make landfall, they can cause damage through flooding (from heavy rainfall and storm surges), tornadoes which can be spawned by the hurricane, and heavy winds that can destroy structures. Blizzards are not associated with hurricanes, and while earthquakes can happen, they are not a direct result of hurricanes.
