  1. Floodplains form when rivers deposit sediments in flat areas during floods, creating nutrient-rich, fertile soil ideal for agriculture. This feature has supported ancient civilizations and continues to play a vital role in modern farming. The Ganga and Nile floodplains are classic examples where nutrient deposition enables high crop yields. While fertile, floodplains also require effective flood control to prevent crop and settlement damage, underscoring their dual significance for agriculture and management.
