The plateau of Ozark (U.S.A.) is a good example of domed plateau. Ozark plateau was uplifted by folding and faulting into a broad dome some 65,000 sq km (40,000 square miles) in area during the Appalachian Revolution which occurred at the close of the Paleozoic Era.
Volcanoes also form several varieties of plateaus. The largest are built by the lava flow. Smaller, degraded plateaus are formed by the resistant lava caps that protect the land from erosion and maintain its high elevation after the surrounding land has been worn away.
Erosional PlateausSuch plateaus are formed particularly in semiarid regions where streams have cut away portions of high lands.
