Structural plains: These are the extensive lowlands of the earth bordering all the
continents.
These plains are mainly formed by the up liftment of a part of the sea-floor or
continental shelf. The south eastern plains of the United States formed by the
up liftment of a part of the Gulf of Mexico are an example of this type of plains.
The structural plains may also be formed by the subsidence of areas. One such
example is the central low-lands of Australia.
The hypothesis is that the smooth plains on Mercury were formed by volcanic activity, where lava flooded the surface and created vast plains of solidified rock. This volcanic activity is thought to have occurred early in Mercury's history, filling in low-lying areas and creating the flat plains we see today.
The soil of the Gangetic plains was primarily formed from the deposition of sediment carried by the Ganges and its tributaries over thousands of years. The fertile alluvial soil is composed of silt, clay, sand, and organic matter, making it highly productive for agriculture. This process continues as the rivers continue to deposit sediment during the monsoon season.
Glacial plains are formed by the deposition of sediments carried by glaciers as they advance and retreat. When glaciers move, they pick up rocks, soil, and other materials, which are then deposited when the glacier melts. Over time, these deposited materials accumulate to create flat, wide expanses of land known as glacial plains.
Another name for coastal plains are lowlands or littoral plains. These are flat, low-lying areas adjacent to coastlines that are formed by the deposition of sediment carried by rivers or the sea. Coastal plains are often fertile and support diverse ecosystems.
Floodplains and alluvial plains are both formed by sediment deposition from rivers. They are fertile areas suitable for agriculture due to the nutrient-rich soil. Both types of plains are at risk of flooding during periods of high rainfall or snowmelt.
The plains have been formed in the areas where the rock layers on the earth's crust are aligned almost horizontally. they are also called tectonic plains.

There are inland plains. These are formed when lakes become filled in with sediment. There are also coastal plains. These are formed when rocks are worn away near the shore.

Plains are made from rock formations. Plains are flat areas of land that are located in low lying areas. Plains can be formed when lakes become filled in.
These flood plains are often seen merging with meander plains with hardly any difference so that it is difficult to distinguish between meanders and cover flood plains. These plains are formed only because of variation in speed and decomposition.
