Question

Write on the topic " floodplains are the important creation of river "

Answer 1

A floodplain or flood plain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or river which stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls, and which experiences flooding during periods of high discharge.[1

Answer 2

Formation. Floodplains are made by a meander eroding sideways as it travels downstream. When ariver breaks its banks, it leaves behind layers of alluvium (silt). These gradually build up to create the floor of the plain.
