Answer:
As the river enters a plain it twists and turns to form large bends called meanders. Due to continuous erosion and deposition along the sides of the meander, a river sometimes overflows its banks. This leads to the flooding of neighbouring areas. As it floods, the river water deposits layers of fine soil and sediments on its banks leading to the formation of a flat, fertile floodplain.
