The similarities between coastal plains typically include flat terrain, proximity to the ocean, and fertile soil suitable for agriculture. Differences can arise in terms of climate, vegetation, geology, and human development. For example, the Gulf Coastal Plain in the United States is marked by humid subtropical climate and marshy wetlands, while the Atlantic Coastal Plain is characterized by sandy beaches and barrier islands.
The major distinguishing features of the northern plains and coastal plains are that the northern plains have varied elevation and low relief, while the coastal plains have low elevation and low relief. The coastal plains lie along the shore, but the northern plains are surrounded by land surface.
The natural boundry between these is called the Fall Line. The Fall Line marks the eastern boundry of the coastal plains whereas to the west the Piedmont boundry is marked by the Blue Ridge Mountains.
the great plains is bigger than the coastal plains.
Coastal plains are nearer to water therefore the temperature ranges will be smaller than those of interior plains because it will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer for coastal plains.
The inner coastal plain is closer to the coastline and tends to have lower elevations, while the outer coastal plain is located further inland and typically has higher elevations. The inner coastal plain is often more prone to flooding and saltwater intrusion, while the outer coastal plain may have more diverse topography and soil types.
One major difference between Coastal plains and Interior plains is in elevation. Coastal plains have low elevation and low relief. Interior plains have varied elevation and low relief. Coastal plains also lie along the shore while Interior plains are surrounded by other land.
