Answer:

Plateau

A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Plateaus occur on every continent and take up a third of the Earths land. They are one of the four major landforms, along with mountains, plains, and hills.

There are two kinds of plateaus:

Dssected plateaus

Dssected plateausTectonic plateaus.

Dissected plateau

  • A dissected plateau forms as a result of upward movement in the Earths crust.

Tectonic plateau

  • The uplift is caused by the slow collision of tectonic plates.
  • The Colorado Plateau, in the western United States, has been rising about .03 centimeter (.01 inch) a year for more than 10 million years.
