| has gloss | (noun) a plain adjacent to a coast coastal plain |
| has gloss | eng: A coastal plain is an area of flat, low-lying land adjacent to a seacoast and separated from the interior by other features. One of the world's longest coastal plains is located in western South America. The southwestern coastal plain of North America is notable for its species diversity. The Gulf Coastal Plain of North America extends northwards from the Gulf of Mexico along the Lower Mississippi River to the Ohio River, which is a distance of about 500 miles (about 800 km). During the Cretaceous age, the central area of the United States was covered by a shallow sea, which disappeared as the land rose. Large fossilized aquatic birds called Hesperornis and Ichthyornis, found in western Kansas, indicate that the shallow sea was rife with fish. The coastal plain lying alongside the lower Mississippi River may be associated with a shallow sea which had existed 6 thousand years ago. |

| has gloss | nld: Een kustvlakte is een gebied van laagliggend vlak land dat grenst aan een kustgebied. Kustvlaktes bevatten meestal van nature moerassig land, lagunes en meren. Deze worden afgewisseld met de benedenlopen van rivieren, die door bijvoorbeeld delta's of estuaria in de zee uitmonden. De kuststrook zelf bestaat naast een kustvlakte vrijwel altijd uit duinen of wad met barrière-eilanden en wordt meestal niet meer bij de kustvlakte gerekend. |

| has gloss | spa: Una llanura costera es una planicie de baja altitud que está al lado de una superficie acuática. Usualmente, se extiende hacia el mar, formando lo que se conoce como plataforma continental. En geología, la llanura costera es una prolongación del continente, y frecuentemente es producto de aluviones amontonados o el accionar humano. En EE. UU. este término es aplicado a la plataforma continental primitiva, la cual dio lugar a las largas llanuras continentales del Atlántico y del Golfo, que se han estado hundiendo y emergiendo del agua en muchos momentos desde la era mesozoica, como se ha demostrado con el tipo de depósitos sedimentarios, tal vez por algún descenso del nivel del mar, o tal vez por una elevación de la Tierra. |
