Plateau

A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above its surroundings, typically with a relatively broad summit area. Plateaus are characterized by their flat topography and steep sides, often formed through geological processes such as erosion, tectonic activity, or volcanic eruptions. Plateaus can vary in size from small, isolated formations to vast, expansive regions covering thousands of square miles. These landforms are important for their unique ecosystems and have been inhabited by humans for thousands of years.
