Muddus plains

The Muddus plains is a landscape type in northern Sweden characterized by its flat topography dotted with inselbergs.

The northern lower levels of Southern Norway's Paleic surface are considered to be equivalent to the Muddus plains.

[3] The plains formed in connection to the uplift of the northern Scandinavian Mountains in the Paleogene.

The uplift caused the surface to tilt eastward and incised valleys opened up to the east.

[3] The key processes involved in the formation of the Muddus plain include etching, stripping and pediplanation.
