Question

how are flood plains formed?

Answer 1

HI mate GM here is your answer...,

Floodplains are formed when a meander erodes sideways as it travels downstream. When a river breaks its banks, it leaves behind layers of alluvium (silt). These gradually build up to create the floor of the plain.

I hope it will help you and mark me as a brain list answer plz.

Answer 2

Answer:

At times the river overflows its banks. This leads 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 flood plain.
