The North European Plain ({{lang-de|link=no|Norddeutsches Tiefland}}, North German Plain, or Mitteleuropäische Tiefebene, {{lang-pl|Nizina Środkowoeuropejska}}, Middle European Plain, Danish: Nordeuropæiske Lavland, {{lang-nl|link=no|Noord-Europese Laagvlakte}}, Northern European Plain) is a geomorphological region in Europe, mostly in Poland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands (Low Countries), with small parts of northern France and Czech republic. It consists of the low plains between the Hercynian Europe (Central European Highlands) to the south and coastlines of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to the north. These two seas are separated by the Jutland Peninsula (Denmark). The North European Plain is connected to the East European Plain, together forming the European Plain. UsesThe Northern European Plain's main use is commercial farming, with little natural vegetation remaining.{{cn|date=January 2019}} GeographyElevations vary between 0 and 200 m (0 to about 650 ft). While mostly used as farmland, the region also contains bogs, heath and lakes. On the North Sea coast one finds the Wadden Sea, a large tidal area.{{cn|date=January 2019}} On the Baltic Sea coast one finds the Szczecin Lagoon, the Vistula Lagoon and the Curonian Lagoon, a number of large freshwater lagoons. LocationThe North European Plain covers Flanders (northern Belgium), the Netherlands, Northern Germany, Denmark, and most of central-western Poland; it touches the Czech Republic and southwestern part of Sweden as well. {{cn|date=January 2019}} Parts of eastern England can also be considered part of the same plain; as they share its low-lying character and were connected by land to the continent during the last ice age.{{cn|date=December 2018}} The Northern European Plains are located also under the Baltic Sea.{{cn|date=December 2018}} RiversMajor river-drainage basins include, from west to east: the Rhine, Ems, Weser, Elbe, Oder and Vistula. The bases of these rivers are heavy with thin soil, making it hard for the farming industry to thrive in the located rivers.{{cn|date=December 2018}} Sub-regionsBaltic Lowland{{main|Baltic Lowland}}Low CountriesHistorically, especially in the Middle Ages and Early modern period, the western section has been known as the Low Countries. Polish PlainsThe part in modern-day Poland is called the "Polish Plain" ({{lang-pl|Niż Polski}} or Nizina Polska) and stretches from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Sudetes and Carpathians English flatlandsThe extension of the plain into England consists mainly of the flatlands of East Anglia, the Fens and Lincolnshire, where the landscape is in parts strikingly similar to that of the Netherlands.
