A plateau is considered an elevated plain characterized by a flat top surface, which is higher than its surroundings. Plateaus are often formed by geological processes such as erosion, volcanic activity, or tectonic uplift. They can range in size from small areas to extensive regions, and are commonly found in continents like Africa, Asia, and North America.

A flat piece of ground is typically called a plain or a plateau, depending on its size and elevation. Plains are low-lying flat areas, while plateaus are elevated flat areas.
A plateau and a coastal plain are not defined by size, but by elevation (a plateau is at a high level) and proximity to the sea (a coastal plain is bordered on at least one side by the sea). Specific examples of each can be smaller or larger than examples of the other.
A plain is a landform of flat or gently rolling land with low relief. It is one of the Earth's major landforms.

A large elevated plain is called a plateau. Plateaus are flat, raised landforms with steep sides that are higher than surrounding areas. They are often formed through geological processes like tectonic activity or erosion.

A raised plain is called a plateau. Plateaus are elevated flat areas of land that are typically formed by the erosion and weathering of surrounding land.
Geographically, a "plain" is a large, treeless area of level or nearly level land. By convention the term "plain" is usually used to describe a low level flat area such as a coastal plain, sea floor plain, a river plain or a lunar plain (mare) rather than an elevated flat area which would be called a plateau.
