Solution

The plains that are formed due to uplift or subsidence of land are called Structural plains.

Explanation:

Structural plains are formed due to the uplift or subsidence of land. These plains are typically the result of tectonic forces that cause large flat areas to form either through the upward movement of the Earth's surface or downward sinking of land. These plains are often characterized by their relatively flat terrain and can be found in regions where tectonic stability has allowed for the accumulation of sediments or the gradual shaping of the land.
