What is Understanding Plateaus: Formation and Types about?
This document provides an explanation of what a plateau is and how they are formed. It defines a plateau as a landform that is elevated above surrounding areas with mostly steep sides. Plateaus can be formed through volcanic activity when magma pushes up large chunks of earth, through tectonic uplift near mountain ranges which raises broad areas of flat land, and through erosion as the sides of land regions are weathered away. Examples of plateaus formed through each of these processes are provided.
