FIRST LET US UNDERSTAND WHAT IS A PLATEAU

• A plateau is a flat and elevated land with steep slopes.

• Plateaus can be of different sizes, rising few hundreds to thousands of metre.

• They can be very high in altitude. E.g. Tibet Plateau or very old and eroded e.g. Deccan Plateau

So, if we sum up all the points, the exact definition of plateau is that it is a flat and elevated land having steep sloped which are very high in altitude and can be found in various sizes, shapes and altitude. Few examples are Tibet plateau, Chota Nagpur plateau, Deccan plateau etc.
