PLAINS:
A plain is a flat, low-lying area. They are one of the major landforms on earth and they cover more than one-third of the earth’s land area. Plains can be found in lowlands, at the bottom of valleys, and on top of plateaus. Plains can be formed by many different methods such as erosion, the movement of rivers, volcanic activity, etc. the Great Plains in North America, Tabasco Plain in Mexico, plains of Sichuan in China are some examples of plains. It is worthy to note that many pains, like Great Plains in North America, are grasslands. Plains can be classified into several types based on their structures and formations.
PLATEAU:
A plateau is a flat land that is raised significantly above the ground. Plateaus are also known as high plains, tablelands or flat-topped mountains. It differs from a mountain as a mountain’s top is peaked or jagged. Plateaus, as explained above, have flat tops. A plateau can be formed by a number of processes; they can be formed when a large segment of earth is pushed up from the earth due to volcanic movements or when the top of mountains are worn down by erosion.
