The plains and lowlands

Low plains occupy the rest of the Asian mainland, particularly the vast West Siberian and Turan plains of the interior. The remaining lowlands are distributed either in the maritime regions—such as the North Siberian and Yana-Indigirka lowlands and the North China Plain—or in the piedmont depressions of Mesopotamia, the Indo-Gangetic Plain, and mainland Southeast Asia. Those plains have monotonously level surfaces with wide valleys, through which the great Asian rivers and their tributaries flow. The topography of the plains in densely populated regions has been greatly modified through the construction of canals, dams, and levees. To the south of the zone of piedmont depressions lie extensive tablelands and plateaus, including the Deccan plateau in India and the Syrian-Arabian Plateau in the west. In addition, there are the intermontane basins of Kashgaria, Junggar, Qaidam (Tsaidam), and Fergana and the plateaus of central Siberia and the Gobi, all of which lie at elevations of 2,600 to 4,900 feet (800 to 1,500 metres). Most of their surfaces are smooth or gently rolling, with isolated hillocks. The plateaus inside the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, the Tien Shan, and the Pamirs lie at elevations of some 12,000 feet (3,700 metres) or more.
