Geology of North America: Coastal Plains

The video explains the differences between high flat regions like plateaus and low-lying flat areas such as coastal plains. It describes plains as large flat areas with minimal elevation differences and highlights coastal plains as those near coastlines. The video also covers the formation of coastal plains, which were created by ancient seas depositing sediments over millions of years. These deposits have resulted in fertile soils suitable for agriculture.
