Landforms & Bodies of Water

• A plain is a low, flat area of land.

• Plains may have been formed from flowing

lava, deposited by water, ice or wind or

formed by erosion by these agents from hills

and mountains.

• Plains in many areas are important for

agriculture because where the soils were

deposited as sediments they may be deep

and fertile (good for planting crops) or

because they support grasslands which

provide good grazing for livestock. ©SheilaMelton2012
