Plains are broad, nearly level stretches of land that have no great changes in elevation.

When we say broad it means Large in expanse or spacious.


Plains occupy more than 50% of the continental landmass.
3 major plains on earth three major plains regions of the world are the North American Plains, the Eurasian Plains, and the
Amazon Basin.

there are many kinds of plains 1st. Coastal plain, an area of low-lying land adjacent to a sea; the term is used especially where they contrast with hills, mountains or plateau further inland. 2nd Alluvial plains are formed by rivers, and may be one of these overlapping types: Flood plain adjacent to a stream, river, lake or wetland that experiences occasional or periodic flooding. One example is MARIKINA and PASIG ,w/c is prone to flooding,because it is near the rivers. Alluvial plain, formed over a long period of time by a river depositing sediment on its floodplain or bed which becomes alluvial soil. Scroll plain, a plain through which a river meanders with a very low gradient. Lacustrine plain a plain that originally formed in a lacustrine environment. When we say lacustrine environment ,this means people who live near lakes. Lava plain , formed by sheets of flowing lava. 3rd Glacial plains are formed by the movement of glaciers under the force of gravity:

Till plain, a plain of glacial till that forms when a sheet of ice becomes detached from the main body of a glacier and melts in place depositing the sediments it carries. Till plains are composed of unsorted material (till) of all sizes.


th

Sandur (plural sandar), a glacial out-wash plain formed of sediments deposited by melt-water at the terminus of a glacier. Sandar consist mainly of stratified (layered and sorted) gravel and sand Mud plain Mud plains are usually found close to swamps and quicksand. Mud plains are usually found near the jungle or lakes. Grassland plain Grassland plains are formed by moss and algae, which look like grasslands.

4 Abyssal plain, a flat or very gently sloping area of the deep ocean basin From the root word abyss bottomless pit a plain underneath the ocean .
