how are plateau landforms formed
How are Plateaus Formed? Plateaus can be formed by the erosion of surrounding areas by rivers, flooding and glacier activity. An uplift of land can occur from the pressure of a large magma chamber under layers of rock. Repeated lava flows can also form a plateau over a period of time. The collision of tectonic plates of the Earthâs crust can elevate a portion of land to create a plateau.
