What are natural levees and how do they form?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Floodplains- Large-sized materials are deposited first when the stream channel breaks into a gentle slope. Thus, normally, fine-sized materials like sand, silt, and clay are carried by relatively slow-moving waters in gentler channels usually found in the plains and deposited over the bed and when the waters spill over the banks during flooding above the bed.
