Question

How are flood plains formed?
​

Answer 1

A floodplain is an area of land which is covered in water when a river bursts its banks. Floodplains form due to both erosion and deposition. Erosion removes any interlocking spurs , creating a wide, flat area on either side of the river.

Answer 2

Flood Plains are formed as:

• Flood plain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or river
• It stretches from the banks of its canal to the base of the enclosing walls of the valley
• The soils usually consist of clays, silts, sands, and gravel deposited during floods.
• Floodplains are formed by deposition on the inside of river meanders and by overflow.
