lowland
Lowland is a term used to describe an area of land that is lower in relation to the surrounding regions, often characterized by relatively flat terrain and often found near coasts, rivers, or valleys. It is typically located at a lower altitude or elevation compared to other areas known as highlands or mountains. Such regions often have richer, more fertile soils making them ideal for agriculture and human habitation. Climate and vegetation can vary widely across different lowland areas.
Webster Dictionary
Lowlandnoun
land which is low with respect to the neighboring country; a low or level country; -- opposed to highland

Lowland
In physical geography, a lowland is any broad expanse of land with a general low level. This term can also be described as a area of land that is below sea level. The term is thus applied to the landward portion of the upward slope from oceanic depths to continental highlands, to a region of depression in the interior of a mountainous region, to a plain of denudation, or to any region in contrast to a highland. The Lowlands and Highlands of Scotland are typical.
