The Elements of Geology On the Arctic there is a broad coastal plain. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 First is the coastal plain—a consistently narrow strip of land, generally not over 3 or 4 miles wide. The Bontoc Igorot The easternmost lies in part along the Appalachians and in part along the coastal plain from southern New Jersey to Texas. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America Although the rainfall of the northern extension of China's coastal plain is small, its efficiency is relatively high because of its most favorable distribution and the high summer temperatures. Farmers of Forty Centuries; Or, Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea, and Japan As an example of an ancient peneplain uplifted and dissected we may cite the Piedmont Belt, a broad upland lying between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic coastal plain. The Elements of Geology It is supposed that this variation in weight in time caused a yielding of the strata and a slip seaward of the great coastal plain.

The Bontoc Igorot The coastal plains produced by uplift of the land may be fertile and may furnish happy homes for man, but they do not permit ready access to the sea because they have no harbors. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America On the other hand, the wide coastal plain of New Jersey is made of stratified sands and clays, which, as their marine fossils show, were outspread beneath the sea. The Elements of Geology Strips of coastal plain were added to the land, and as early as the close of the Miocene the shore lines of the Atlantic and Gulf states had reached well-nigh their present place. The Elements of Geology On the other hand, where the waste supplied to the sea comes chiefly from wide, sandy, coastal plains, there are deposited off- shore clean sandstones of well-worn grains of quartz alone. The Elements of Geology Almost nothing is known of the eastern coastal plain area. The Bontoc Igorot In the great plains of North America two of the divisions, that is, the Atlantic coastal plain of the southeast and the peneplain of the northwest, owe their present form to the forces of erosion.

The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America The chief characteristic of this Atlantic and Gulf coastal plain is its belted nature. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America It is due to the fertile soil of that part of the coastal plain known as the "cotton belt." The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America Everywhere in the coastal plain this same belted character is more or less evident. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America At times a gentle uplift brought to sea level great coastal plains, which for ages remained mantled with the jungle, their undeveloped drainage clogged with its debris, and were then again submerged. The Elements of Geology Before the advent of the ice the whole section consisted of a broadly banded coastal plain much older than that of the Atlantic coast.
