  1. 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.
