Flood Plain
Flood plain explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to pour a large pot of soup into a small bowl without spilling any. Just as the bowl can overflow when it can't contain all the soup, a floodplain is a wide valley that accommodates a river's overflow when it has too much water to hold. In this analogy, the pot is like the river carrying excess water, the bowl represents the riverbanks, and the spilled soup symbolizes the overflow that spreads across the floodplain, much like water spilling beyond the river's boundaries.
Practice Version
