Flood plains, Levees and Yazoo streams. Rivers flood on a regular basis. The area over which they flood is known as the floodplain and this often coincides with regions where meanders form. When rivers flood in the middle valley the cover an area of land known as the flood plain.When they flood velocity is slowed and deposition of any rocks being transported is encouraged.lood plains, Levees and Yazoo streams.
