Large areas of Earth's crust that are pushed up are called plateaus.

Here's why:

* Plateau: A plateau is a large, flat area of land that stands above the surrounding area. They are often formed by tectonic uplift, where the Earth's crust is pushed upwards.

* Other possibilities: While plateaus are the most common, there are other landforms that can be formed by uplift:

* Mountain ranges: These are formed when tectonic plates collide and push the land upwards.

* Upwarped areas: These are areas where the Earth's crust has been pushed upwards in a more localized and less dramatic way than a mountain range.
