Coastal plain

A coastal plain is a flat, low-lying area of land that extends along the coast, typically formed by the accumulation of sediments from rivers and the ocean. These plains are often characterized by gentle slopes and rich soils, making them ideal for agriculture and development. They can be found in various regions around the world and are influenced by tides, storms, and rising sea levels. Coastal plains support diverse ecosystems and serve as important habitats for wildlife, as well as crucial areas for human settlements, industry, and tourism due to their proximity to the ocean.
