Answer 2

Difference Between Mountain and Plateau

• A plateau is an elevated plain, while mountain is an elevation with steep slopes

• A plateau is generally lower in height than mountain, though there are plateaus higher than some mountains

• Mountains are sparsely populated as they are not suitable for farming, and the climate is also harsh.

• On the other hand, plateaus are places with rich reserves of minerals

• Plateaus also have waterfalls making them scenic spots frequented by visitors

• A mountain goes up and comes down steeply, whereas a plateau goes up, remains flat for a while before sloping gently again.

• Plateaus have relatively flat terrain making it look like a table

• Highest plateau of the world, the one in Tibet is also called the roof of the world.
