lava sheets form lava or volcanic plateaus. The Antrim plateau in Northern Ireland, The Deccan Plateau in India and the Columbia Plateau in the United States are examples of lava plateaus.
Answer:
There r 2 kinds of plateaus
•Volcanic plateau
•Intermontane plateau
Explanation:
•Volcanic plateau:- These are formed when successive layers of liquid lava flowed out as a result of volcanic eruptions. Spread over a wide region,the lava cooled,and successive sheets of lava solidifies to form a raised table land or a plateau over a period of time.
Eg:- Columbia-Snake plateau in USA, Northwestern part of Deccan Plateau India, The Malwa plateau India.
•The Intermontane plateau:- Intermontane means "Betwween mountain". Intermontane plateaus are enclosed by fold mountains . These are usually very high . The pressure of two fold mountains wrinkles the Earth's crust which forms a table land .
Eg:- The great Tibetan plateau between the Kunlun fold mountains and The Himalayan fold mountain , The Anatolian plateau between the Pontic and Taurus fold mountains., The plateau of Bolivia and Peru, etc.
