Explanation:

• Plains are large stretches of flat land. They are generally not more than 200 meters above mean sea level. Some plains are extremely level.
• Most of the plains are formed by rivers and their tributaries. The rivers flow down the sloped of mountains and erode them. They carry forward the eroded material. Then they deposit their load consisting of stones, sand and silt along their courses and in their valleys. It is form these deposits that plains are formed.
• Plains are most useful areas for human habitation. There is great concentration of people as more flat land is available for building houses, as well as for cultivation.
