What is the step-like old floodplain along the side of a river valley called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: River terrace
A river terrace is a step-like bench representing an older floodplain left above the river’s present level. It forms when renewed vertical erosion, often caused by uplift or a fall in base level, makes the river cut downward into its valley. The former floodplain is abandoned as a terrace, so option D is correct. The other choices are wind, coastal and glacial features.
