Mount Everest, known in Nepali as Sagarmāthā and in Tibetan as Chomolungma, is Earth's highest mountain, located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas. The international border between China (Tibet Autonomous Region) and Nepal runs across its summit point.
The Tibetan Plateau (Tibetan: བོད་ས་མཐོ།, Wylie: bod sa mtho), also known in China as the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau[1] or the Qingzang Plateau[2] (Chinese: 青藏高原; pinyin: Qīngzàng Gāoyuán) or Himalayan Plateau, is a vast elevated plateau in Central Asia[3][4][5][6] and East Asia,[7][8][9][10] covering most of the Tibet Autonomous Region and Qinghai in western China, as well as part of Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It stretches approximately 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) north to south and 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi) east to west. With an average elevation exceeding 4,500 metres (14,800 ft), the Tibetan Plateau is sometimes called "the Roof of the World" and is the world's highest and largest plateau, with an area of 2,500,000 square kilometres (970,000 sq mi) (about five times the size of Metropolitan France).[11] Sometimes termed the Third Pole, the Tibetan Plateau contains the headwaters of the drainage basins of most of the streams in surrounding regions. Its tens of thousands of glaciers and other geographical and ecological features serve as a "water tower" storing water and maintaining flow. The impact of global warming on the Tibetan Plateau is of intense scientific interest.[12][13][14][15]

Difference Between Mount everest and Plateau are :-
• The main difference between a mount and a plateau is that the mount everest an elevated, pointed structure whereas a plateau is an elevated area with a flat top.
• A plateau is generally lower in height than mount , though there are plateaus higher than some mount
• Mount 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 and also have waterfalls making them scenic spots frequented by visitors.
• A mount 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
