Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The floodplain is the most prominent depositional landscape because it is the flat, low-lying area adjacent to a river or stream that is periodically flooded and covered with sediment. The deposition of this sediment creates a highly fertile and productive area for agriculture and human settlement. Oxbow lakes, cut-offs, meander scars, and backswamps are all features that can be found within a floodplain, but they are not as prominent or widespread.
