Question

What do coastal and interior plains differ? how are they similar

Answer 1

The Coastal plain is different from an interior plain because a coastal plain lies along the sea coast. Coastal plains also have low relief. The interior plain lies away from the coast and the elevation can vary. Coastal plains are normally damper than interior plains. Interior plains have more chances for drought conditions as well. One result of the differences is population. More likely than not, coastal plains are population centers.

Answer 2

Answer/Explanation:

A coastal plain is a flat, low-lying piece of land next to the ocean. Coastal plains are separated from the rest of the interior by nearby landforms, such as mountains. In western South America, a large coastal plain lies between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
