its formed by eroion on the sides of sedimentary rock
What else can I help you with?
How were the Interior Plateaus formed?
Mostly by volcanic activity.
How were Utah's mountains and Plateaus formed?
God made them
How many plateaus are on earth?
Volcanic Plateau - Lava plateaus are formed by highly fluid basaltic lava. Dissected Plateau - Formed usually on a comparatively small scale, by the leveling of terrain by planing and deposition beneath an ice sheet or perhaps, an ice cap. Tibetan Plateau -
What causes plateaus to form?
Mountains and Plateaus are formed when tectonic plates collide with one another. The Himalayas were formed and are still growing as the two tectonic plates they sit on are still pushing on one another.
Why are plateaus flat?
Plateaus are flat because they are formed by the erosion of softer rock layers, leaving behind a flat surface at a higher elevation.
What are two ways plateaus can be formed?
Plateaus can be formed through volcanic activity where lava flows solidify over time to create a flat, elevated surface. Alternatively, plateaus can also be formed through the uplift of large blocks of land, such as through tectonic processes like continental collision or rifting.
Lava plateaus are likely to have formed from magma that is?
basaltic with little gas content
What is tectonic plateau?
Tectonic plateau is a plateau formed by the movement of tectonic plateaus
What are fault block?
fault block plateaus are formed when a large block of earth is uplifted
How are plateus formed?
Plateaus are formed by the upwelling of volcanic magma and erosion by water and glaciers. When the magma rises it causes the ground to swell upward. Large areas of flat rock are lifted up and this forms the plateaus.
Slab that forms when magma squeezes between layer of rock?
A Sill is formed
What are fault block plateaus?
Fault block plateaus are large flat elevated areas of land formed by the movement of tectonic plates along faults, causing blocks of rock to uplift and tilt. These plateaus often have steep cliffs on one side and a gentler slope on the other. Famous examples include the Colorado Plateau in the United States and the Deccan Plateau in India.
