The term "Gulf region" generally refers to the area surrounding the Gulf of Mexico, which includes parts of the southeastern United States (such as Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida) as well as parts of Mexico. This area is characterized by coastal plains, which are flat, low-lying areas adjacent to the coast.
Coastal plains are typically found along many coastlines and are characterized by their proximity to the ocean, flat topography, and often rich ecosystems. The Gulf Coastal Plain specifically includes a variety of geographical features, such as wetlands, estuaries, and delta regions (like the Mississippi River Delta), that are influenced by both marine and freshwater systems.
So, while the Gulf region includes coastal plains, it's more accurate to say that the coastal plains are a feature of the Gulf region rather than to define the entire region solely by its coastal plain characteristics.
