★Plateaus are the land masses that rise abruptly from the neighbouring areas with steep slopes. Their top is either rounded or flat. Owing to their large area, they are also known as tablelands.

★Plateaus are also called tablelands like the Peninsular Plateau which is a tableland. This tableland was formed when Gondwanaland broke and the pieces drifted apart. It is composed of old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks. The Peninsular Plateau consists of both broad and shallow valleys, and rounded hills.
