Often, flood plains are where the most fertile soil is. The rich alluvial soil washes down from mountains in rivers and streams, bringing with it rich nutrients which are perfect for growing crops.
Flood plains, being close to rivers, also offer easy transportation of goods up and down waterways.

Yes, there are flood plains in Canada.
They are plains
Flood Plains National Park was created in 1984.
These flood plains are often seen merging with meander plains with hardly any difference so that it is difficult to distinguish between meanders and cover flood plains. These plains are formed only because of variation in speed and decomposition.

No. It is very hot and does not even have any water, so there are no flood plains there.
The Central Plains is an area and didn't build homes. Ask about what people did.

The area of Flood Plains National Park is 173.5 square kilometers.
People build banks so that the water doesn't rise up and flood the city.
