Flood Plain
A wide valley through which a river flows and can overflow
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to fit all your clothes into a suitcase that's just a bit too small. Just like how those clothes overflow and spill out when you try to close the suitcase, a flood plain is an area where a river can overflow when it has too much water. The suitcase represents the river bank, the clothes are the water, and the floor where the clothes spill over is the flood plain itself, illustrating how excess water from the river spills over into the surrounding valley.
