Answer 1

Answer:

Mountains aren't just a sight to behold—they cover 22 percent of the planet's land surface and provide habitat for plants, animals and about 1 billion human beings. The vital landforms also supply critical resources such as fresh water, food and even renewable energy

• They are above the sea level ranging from 1km to 8.848kms, enhancing the future habitat for living beings if tsunamis occur.

Tectonic plateaus :-

• They are formed when one layer of earth goes upon another forming mountain ranges

Volcanic plateaus :-

• They are formed when volcanoes erupt,.

Dissected plateaus :-

• Plateaus that undergo erosion heavily. That is they face soil erosion due to the continuous flow of rivers through them.

Intermontane plateaus :-

• Plateaus that are formed between two mountains.
