COASTAL
PLAINS
A coastal plain is flat, low-lying
land adjacent to a seacoast. One
of the world's largest coastal
plains is located in eastern
South America.[1] The
Gulf Coastal Plain of North
America extends northwards
from the Gulf of Mexico along the
Lower Mississippi River to the
Ohio River, which is a distance of
about 500 miles (800 km).
ALLUVIAM
PLAIN
Alluvium (from the Latin, alluvius,
from alluere, "to wash against") is loose,
unconsolidated (not cemented together
into a solid rock) soil or sediments,
which has been eroded, reshaped by
water in some form, and redeposited in a
non-marine setting.[1][2] Alluvium is
typically made up of a variety of
materials, including fine particles of silt
and clay and larger particles of sand and
gravel. When this loose alluvial material
is deposited or cemented into a
lithological unit, or lithified, it is called
an alluvial deposit.[3]
STEPPES
PLAIN
In physical geography, a steppe (Old Russian:
степ [step], grassland) is an ecoregion, in the
montane grasslands and shrublands and
temperate grasslands, savannas, and
shrublands biomes, characterized by grassland
plains without trees apart from those near
rivers and lakes. The prairie (especially the
shortgrass and mixed prairie) is an example of
a steppe, though it is not usually called such. It
may be semi-desert, or covered with grass or
shrubs or both, depending on the season and
latitude. The term is also used to denote the
climate encountered in regions too dry to
support a forest, but not dry enough to be a
desert. The soil is typically of chernozem type.
SAVANNAS
A savanna or savannah is a
mixed woodland grassland
ecosystem characterised by the
trees being sufficiently widely
spaced so that the canopy does
not close. The open canopy
allows sufficient light to reach
the ground to support an
unbroken herbaceous layer
consisting primarily of grasses.
