What is land that gets covered by water from a stream or river during a flood?
A 'floodplain'.
What is meander and cover flood plains?
MEANDER A meander in general is a bend in a sinuous watercourse. A meander is formed when the moving water in a stream erodes the outer banks and widens its valley. A stream of any volume may assume a meandering course, alternatively eroding sediments from the outside of a bend and depositing them on the inside. The result is a snaking pattern as the stream meanders back and forth across its down valley axis. When a meander gets cut off from the main stream, an oxbow lake is formed. Over time meanders migrate downstream, sometimes in such a short time as to create civil engineering problems for local municipalities attempting to maintain stable roads and bridges. COVER FLOOD PLAINS A floodplain, or flood plain, is a flat or nearly flat land adjacent to a stream or river that stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls and experiences flooding during periods of high discharge. It includes the flood way, which consists of the stream channel and adjacent areas that carry flood flows, and the flood fringe, which are areas covered by the flood, but which do not experience a strong current. In other words, a floodplain is an area near a river or a stream which floods easily.
Which part of a river would have a wide flood plain?
A floodplain, or flood plain, is flat or nearly flat land adjacent to a stream or river that experiences occasional or periodic flooding.
Is flood plain the same as flood control?
No, a floodplain is the low-lying area along a river or stream that is prone to flooding. Flood control refers to measures taken to prevent or reduce the impact of flooding, such as building levees or dams or implementing land use regulations in flood-prone areas.
What are flat areas covered by water during floods?
Flood planes
Why does the greatest erosion and transportation of sediment by a stream occur during a flood?
During a flood, the stream's flow and energy increase significantly, allowing it to carry larger amounts of sediment and erode the streambanks more easily. The increased water volume and velocity during a flood help transport more sediment downstream at a faster rate compared to normal flow conditions.
Why did the area flood during the boscastle floods?
because boscastle is in a valley and there was loads of rainwater and it just all pilled up and it caused a flood
