Tectonic plateaus arise from the large-scale vertical movement of the Earth’s crust, often related to compressional forces during continental collision. Volcanic plateaus, conversely, are built up by successive flows of low-viscosity basaltic lava, which spread out over vast areas before cooling [2]. [Erosional plateaus](…
