Answer:

what do floodplains,sandbars and river deltas have in common?

Step-by-step explanation:

A floodplain is defined as "a relatively flat strip of land, next to a river and that overflows the waters during floods".

A sandbank is the accumulation of sand or gravel along the shoreline or in a riverbed.

A fluvial delta, therefore, is a triangular territory that forms at the mouth of a river through the sediments deposited by the current.

They have in common that all three develop in the rivers.
