  • Plateau Definition: Understanding High Elevation Landforms
    An area of flat or rolling land at high elevation is called a plateau.

    Here are some other terms that might apply depending on the specific features of the land:

    * Tableland: A plateau with a flat, table-like surface.

    * Mesa: A plateau with a flat top and steep sides, often smaller than a plateau.

    * High plain: A plateau with a relatively smooth surface, often found at high elevations.

    * Meseta: A plateau, specifically in Spain.
