This document defines plains and describes the different types of plains. There are three main types of plains: structural plains, which are formed by endogenic forces raising or lowering the Earth's surface; erosional plains, which were originally rugged areas that were leveled by agents of erosion like rivers, wind, waves, and glaciers; and depositional plains, which are formed by external agents like running water, wind, glaciers, and sea waves carrying rock materials from hills and depositing them in depressions. The document provides examples of the different agents that can cause erosion and deposition in the formation of each type of plain.
