Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including, upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers.Magma rises from the mantle causing the ground to swell upward, in this way large, flat areas of rock are uplifted.When plateaus are surrounded by mountains,then Intermontane plateau are formed.eg-The Tibean plateau.
