Understanding Different Types of Plains

Plains are large, flat areas of land with relatively little change in elevation. There are three
main types of plains: structural, erosional, and depositional. Each type is formed through
different geological processes and has unique characteristics.

Fill in the Blank: Fill in the blank with the correct words.

1. ______ plains are formed by the upliftment of a part of the sea floor or continental
shelf.
2. Erosional plains that have been worn down over time are also called _______.
3. Plains formed by river deposits are known as ______ or alluvial plains.
4. The Valley of Kashmir is an example of a _______ plain.
5. When wind is the major agent of deposition, the resulting plains are called ______
plains.

Word bank: peneplains, structural, lacustrine, loess, riverine

agents?

2. What are plains formed by glacial deposits called?
a) Loess plains
b) Drift plains
c) Alluvial plains

1. Example answer: Structural plains are formed by the upliftment of sea floors or
continental shelves, while erosional plains are formed by the continuous erosion of
uplands over a long period. Structural plains are often found on the borders of
continents, while erosional plains, also known as peneplains, have a surface that is
almost smooth due to prolonged erosion.
2. Example answer: Human activities can impact plains through processes like
agriculture, urbanization, and mining. For example, intensive farming on alluvial
plains can lead to soil erosion and changes in the landscape over time. Construction of
dams on rivers can also alter the natural deposition processes that form and maintain
alluvial plains.
