Advantages: Floodplains can be fertile areas for agriculture due to the deposition of nutrient-rich sediment during floods. They can also provide habitat for diverse plants and animals. Disadvantages: Floodplains are at high risk of flooding and can result in property damage, loss of crops, and potential harm to human life. Development on floodplains can exacerbate flooding and increase the risk to communities.
Floodplains are typically formed by the deposition of sediments carried and deposited by rivers during floods, rather than erosion. Erosion can shape the landscape, but floodplains are mostly a result of the sediment deposition process.

Rivers
A meandering river is characterized by flat floodplains. Meandering rivers have a zigzag pattern with gentle curves, which results in wider floodplains compared to other types of rivers. The slow-moving water in meandering rivers allows sediments to be deposited, creating these flat areas.

They form from deposition NOT EROSION!!
