This document provides information about three types of major plains in the Arab world: coastal plains, flood plains, and inland plains. It focuses on the Mediterranean coastal plains, including the coastal plains of Syria, Palestine, and Tunisia. It also discusses flood plains, using the Nile River flood plain in Egypt as a case study. The Nile flood plain is highly fertile due to the silt deposited each year when the Nile overflows its banks.

2. A- Introduction
A plain is a flat surface that is board and level.
Plains are generally lower than the land around
them; they may be found along a coast or island.
They are flat or rolling in shape. There are three
types in the Arab world:
Coastal plains
Flood plains
Inland plain

3. B- The Mediterranean Coastal
Plains
A coastal plain is an area of low-lying land
adjacent to a sea.
The Mediterranean Coastal Plains are plains that
lie along the Mediterranean sea .

4. 1- the Coastal plain of
Syria
The plain a narrow, fertile coastal plain .
It stretches south from the Turkish border to
Lebanon as seen in the map below.

5. 2- Coastal plains of Palestine
These plains are located along the
Mediterranean sea coast. The costal plains of
Palestine are :
1. Saruunah plain
2. Mount Carmel plain
3. Acre plain

6. 3- The Sahil plain of
Tunisia
Tunisia is a country situated on the
Mediterranean coast of north Africa. Midway
between the Atlantic ocean and Nile valley.

7. C- Flood plain
A flood plain is the floor of a river valley beyond
the riverbed . A flood plain is formed of
1. Mud
2. Sand
3. Silt that are left behind when the river overflows
its bank.

8. Egypt flood plain :a case study
The Nile is the longest river in the world
The Nile has two major tributaries.
1. The White Nile
2. The Blue Nile
The two rivers meet near the Sudanese capital of
Khartoum northern section of the river flows
almost entirely through desert, from Sudan to
Egypt.

9. Soil Fertilization
The silt that the water carries from the highlands
of Ethiopia and deposited along its slow-flowing
lower course fertilizes the soil.
