Answer: At its simplest, a flood plain is formed is when a river system undergoes a decrease in velocity and thus carrying capacity. This can either be a change in gradient, a widening of the overall channel width and in an extreme case a loss of the water through infiltration or evaporation.

How are flood plains formed?
Answer:- At times the river overflows it banks which lead to the flooding of the neighbouring areas .
As it floods, it deposits layers of fine soil and other material called sediments along its banks.
This leads to the formation of a flat fertile food plain.
