Answer:
A plateau is a large mass of comparatively flat land that rises abruptly from the surrounding area. Its surface is undulating, and it usually has steep slopes on one or more sides.
In a plateau, the contour lines are drawn in an elongated manner, with the value increasing on the inner side. They are close to each other on the side that is steep and widely spaced on the gentle side.
