  2. Explanation
Solution:

Plains are flat and relatively low-lying lands. Plains are usually less than 200 meters above sea level. Sometimes they may be rolling or undulating. Most plains are formed by rivers and their tributaries through depositions.
Plains are used extensively for agriculture due to the availability of water and fertile soil. They are most suitable for human inhabitation. Hence, they are the most highly populated region of the world. The Indo-Gangetic plain in North India is one of the largest plains in the world. The plains formed by rivers Cauvery and Vaigai are important plains found in Tamil Nadu.
