  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 8 months ago

A plateau is an elevated land with a flat top, bound by steep slopes on one or more sides. A plateau is also called a tableland. Plateaus cover about 45% of the earth’s surface.

Examples of plateaus are:

  • The Deccan Plateau in India,
  • The East African Plateau in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda,
  • The Western Plateau in Australia and
  • The Tibet Plateau in East Asia


The Deccan Plateau of India is one of the oldest plateaus on the earth’s surface. The Tibet Plateau, is the youngest, highest and largest plateau in the world. Plateaus are formed by lava, rivers or wind.

Lava erupting from cracks on the earth’s surface spreads in the surrounding areas, then cools down, and eventually forms plateaus. Plateaus formed by lava are called lava plateaus.
