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.
