Solution

The Great Plains of the USA were primarily formed through erosion and sedimentation. Over millions of years, rivers deposited vast amounts of sediment, and glaciers further shaped the landscape, creating flat, fertile land. These plains are classified as depositional plains because they were formed by the deposition of materials carried by rivers and glaciers.
