Dnieper Lowland

a lowland situated along the left bank of the Dnieper River in the Ukrainian SSR. It rises to elevations of 50 to 160 m, with a maximum elevation of 200 m; its widths reach 120 km. Bounded by the Central Russian and Dnieper uplands, the lowland is a wide valley of the Dnieper with a system of terraces above the floodplain. It is composed of fluvioglacial, alluvial, and lacustrine sands and of loams, loesses, and loess-like loams. Most of the area is tilled; livestock is raised and agriculture has been intensively developed.
