Question

Assertion (A): Flood plains are an example of depositional planes.

Reason (R): The largest depositional plains are formed by the rivers.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct reason for A.

• A is true and R is false.

• A is false and R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct reason for A.

Explanation:

Flood plains are depositional plains because rivers deposit fine sediments during floods so A is true. Large depositional plains are indeed formed by rivers, so R is also true, but this does not explain why flood plains specifically are depositional plains.
