Some area of our world are situated similarly of sea level those are called the Plain. The plains covered 50% area of our land. As we all know the plains are the only one where population can live more happily cause of on the plain area, mostly the communication system is better and the climate also charm full. For the reason mostly we all like to live in plain area.
In geography, a plain is a flat, sweeping landmass that generally does not change much in elevation. Plains occur as lowlands along the bottoms of valleys or on the doorsteps of mountains, as coastal plains, and as plateaus or uplands.
[1] In a valley, a plain is enclosed on two sides but in other cases a plain may be delineated by a complete or partial ring of hills, by mountains or cliffs. Where a geological region contains more than one plain, they may be connected by a pass (sometimes termed a gap). Coastal plains would mostly rise from sea level until they run into elevated features such as mountains or plateaus.
[2] Plains are one of the major landforms on earth, where they are present on all continents, and would cover more than one-third of the world’s land area.
[3] Plains may have been formed from flowing lava, deposited by water, ice, wind, or formed by erosion by these agents from hills and mountains. Plains would generally be under the grassland (temperate or subtropical), steppe (semi-arid), savannah (tropical) or tundra (polar) biomes. In a few instances, deserts and rainforests can also be plains.
[4] Plains in many areas are important for agriculture because where the soils were deposited as sediments they may be deep and fertile, and the flatness facilitates mechanization of crop production; or because they support grasslands which provide good grazing for livestock.

>> Formation of Plains:-
• Many down area are fill up by the river's silt and turned into a plain.
• On the earth's surface, where till now no fold is appeared there also create plain area.
• Some natural calamity like wind, river, glacier,rainfall broke the high area and turned into a plain.
• Earthquake also able to create a plain.
>> Characteristics of Plains:-
• The height of the plains from the sea level 300m.
• It is mostly found on the sea side & on the basins area of the world.
• The rivers flow slowly in the plain side.
• Exactly the plains are more found on Asia, Europe and North America. In Africa the number of plains are low. The world's largest plain is exist in the northern side of Eurasia.
There are four type of plain on the earth - [1] Depositional Plain, [2] Tectonic Plain, [3] Erosional Plain, [4] Plain by erosion by wind.
