A continental plain is a large, flat expanse of land that is typically found at low elevations and is located on a continent, away from coastal areas. These plains are often formed by the accumulation of sediment from rivers or glacial activity, making them fertile and suitable for agriculture. They can vary in size and are characterized by their relatively level terrain, which contrasts with the surrounding hills and mountains. Examples include the Great Plains in North America and the Pampas in Argentina.

What is an underwater plain that borders a continent?
An underwater plain that borders a continent is called a continental shelf. It is a relatively shallow area of the ocean that extends from the shoreline to the continental slope.
What is the region beyond the continental margin?
The region beyond the continental margin is called the abyssal plain. It is a flat, sediment-covered area of the ocean floor that lies between the continental margin and the mid-ocean ridges. The abyssal plain is characterized by low temperatures, high pressures, and a lack of significant geological features.

when was one of these is not a part of he continental margin?
The continental margin consists of the continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise. One feature that is not part of the continental margin is the abyssal plain, which lies deeper in the ocean and beyond the continental rise. The abyssal plain represents the flat, deep-sea floor that extends across the ocean basins, while the continental margin is specifically associated with the transition from land to ocean.
