Abyssal plains are formed by the accumulation of sediments on the ocean floor, primarily from the remains of marine organisms, volcanic ash, and other materials. Over time, these sediments settle and fill in the irregularities of the ocean floor, creating a flat, smooth surface. Additionally, tectonic processes, such as seafloor spreading and the movement of tectonic plates, contribute to the formation and leveling of these vast underwater plains.
