  • Coastal Lowlands: Defining the Flattest Part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain
    The lowest, flattest part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain is called the Coastal Lowlands.

    This region is characterized by:

    * Low elevation: It's generally less than 200 feet above sea level.

    * Flat topography: It has a very gentle slope, resulting in a wide, flat landscape.

    * Abundant wetlands: The low elevation and proximity to the coast lead to the presence of swamps, marshes, and other wetlands.

    * Presence of barrier islands: These islands help protect the mainland from storm surges and erosion.

    The Coastal Lowlands are a significant part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian Maritimes.
