Plain
In geography, a plain, commonly known as flatland, is a flat expanse of land that generally does not change much in elevation, and is primarily treeless. Plains occur as lowlands along valleys or at the base of mountains, as coastal plains, and as plateaus or Highland, uplands. Plains are one of the major landforms on earth, being present on all continents and covering more than one-third of the world's land area. Plains in many areas are important for agriculture. There are various types of plains and biomes on them.

Further west along the steppe, the lower course of the Burla consists in channels between mostly shallow lakes such as Topolnoye, Khorosheye, Peschanoye and Khomutinoye. In dry years it ends in Lake Bolshoye Topolnoye, but in years of adequate rainfall the river flows into endorheic lake Bolshoy Azhbulat, beyo ...

Soda Lake
A soda lake or alkaline lake is a lake on the strongly base (chemistry), basic side of neutrality, typically with a pH, pH value between 9 and 12. They are characterized by high concentrations of carbonate salts, typically sodium carbonate (and related salt complexes), giving rise to their alkalinity. In addition, many soda lakes also contain high concentrations of sodium chloride and other dissolved Salt (chemistry), salts, making them Salt lake, saline or Hypersaline lake, hypersaline lakes as well. High pH and salinity often coincide, because of how soda lakes develop. The resulting hypersaline and highly alkalic soda lakes are considered some of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth. In spite of their apparent inhospitability, soda lakes are often highly Productivity (ecology), productive ecosystems, compared to their (pH-neutral) freshwater counterparts.
