Question

Define the plateaus. Also explain the classification of plateaus on the basis of stages of development.

Answer 1

Answer:

A plateau is a flat area of land that is elevated above sea level. The word is French for 'table land,' and that term is also used for some smaller landforms that will be discussed further into this lesson. Plateaus aren't all perfectly flat, but they do have low relief; relief means the elevation change across an area.

Explanation:

There are two kinds of plateaus: dissected plateaus and volcanic plateaus. A dissected plateau forms as a result of upward movement in the Earths crust. The uplift is caused by the slow collision of tectonic plates.A volcanic plateau is formed by numerous small volcanic eruptions that slowly build up over time, forming a plateau from the resulting lava flows
