Plain

From Free net encyclopedia

In geography, a plain is a large area of land with relatively low relief. Plains may be more suitable for farming than plateaus or mountains. An alluvial plain is a landform formed by the deposition of alluvial soil over a long period of time by a river coming from the mountains.
