Coastal Plains

Environment
     Coastal Plains are 5-40 miles inland and the air is damp and moist. There are many rain falls in the coastal plains. There are many river beds and natural harbors.

Adaptations
       Coastal plains are suitable for farming. people who lived in the area built irrigation systems and traders traded crops from the Coastal plains. When the Marib Dam was still standing, it used to carry the water to this area.
