NOTE
PLATEAU 1
A plateau is a flat or gently sloping elevated area that has been uplifted due to geological processes. It is often characterized by high elevation and a relatively flat terrain compared to the surrounding areas.
Plateaux are typically formed through geological processes such as tectonic uplift, volcanic activity, or erosion. Tectonic uplift occurs when the Earth's crust is pushed upward by tectonic forces, creating elevated areas. Volcanic plateaus form when lava accumulates and solidifies over time, creating a flat or gently sloping surface. Erosion can also play a role, as rivers and weathering gradually wear down surrounding areas, leaving a plateau standing at a higher elevation.
Types of plateaux
Plateaus can be classified into various types based on their formation processes and geological characteristics. The following are some common types:
