What is the the area that is covered with sediment when a river repeatedly overflows its banks?
The area that is covered with sediment when a river repeatedly overflows its banks is known as a floodplain. This flat, low-lying area adjacent to a river is created by the deposition of sediment carried by the floodwaters. Floodplains are vital for agriculture, as the nutrient-rich sediment left behind by floods makes the soil fertile for crops.
Where is a floodplain formed?
A floodplain is the land that is covered by water when a river overflows it's banks. When this happens, silt and clay are deposited over time and the land on either side of the river flattens out. Any depressions in the land will hold water when the river level returns to normal after flooding and therefore more clay and silt will be deposited there filling it up.
How does a flood plain happen?
A flood plain is a flat or gently sloping area near a river or stream that is prone to flooding. It forms when the river overflows its banks and deposits sediment on the adjacent land. Over time, this repeated flooding creates the flat surface of a flood plain.
