Key Points

LIST I (Composition)	Description and Characteristics	Example
A. A plain largely composed of recent alluvium	These are plains formed by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers and streams. They are usually fertile and suitable for agriculture.	*Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta*
B. Deep Sea plain	These are vast underwater flat areas found on the ocean floor, generally at great depths. They are part of the oceanic basin and are covered with deep-sea sediments.	Sunda Abyssal Plain
C. A plain formed by wind action	These plains are created by the wind's erosion and deposition of materials like sand and silt. They often have fine, fertile soil and are susceptible to erosion.	Loess Plateau, North China Plain
D. A plain formed due to the deposition of glacial sediments	Glacial plains are formed when glaciers erode the land and then deposit the sediments they carry. These plains have fertile soil due to the glacial till.	Great Plains (USA), Indo-Gangetic Plain

therefore the correct answer is A - III, B - IV, C - II, D - I
