Explanation:

PLATEAUS ARE SCULPTED by geologic forces that lift them up and the wind and rain that wear them down into mesas, buttes, and canyons. Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon, both icons of the American Southwest, were chiseled from the Colorado Plateau.

Plateaus are built over millions of years as pieces of Earth's crust smash into each other, melt, and gurgle back toward the surface. Some owe their creation to a single process; others have been subjected to more than one during different epochs of Earth's history.
