In geography , a plain is a flat area. Plains occur as lowlands along the bottoms of valleys , coastal plains and as plateaus or uplands at high elevations . 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 (sometime termed a gap). Plains may have been formed from flowing lava , deposited by water, ice, wind, or formed by erosion by these agents from hills and mountains.

In geography , a plain is land with relatively low relief, that is flat or gently rolling. Prairies and steppes are types of plains, and the archetype for a plain is often thought of as a grassland , but plains in their natural state may also be covered in shrub lands , woodland and forest , or vegetation may be absent in the case of sandy or stony plains in hot deserts . Types of flatlands for which the term is not generally used include those covered entirely and permanently by swamps , marshes , playas , or ice sheets .
