Best Answer

desert plateaus are made because of heavy rainfall. You may think that it doesn't rain in the desert, but it does. It doesn't rain very often but when it does it usually results in flash flooding. Because there is no runoff, the water causes erosion so there can be runoff. The erosion is what makes the plataeu.
