Long Answer

Solution

Lacustrine plains are plains formed from the filling of lake beds. When rivers enter a lake, they carry sediments which settle down in the lake, gradually filling the lake bed and creating a flat plain. This process results in what is called a lacustrine plain. Examples include the plains of Hungary in Europe, the plains surrounding the Great Lakes of North America, and the Kashmir valley in India.
