A dissected plateau forms through a combination of geological processes, primarily erosion and tectonic uplift. Initially, a plateau is created by volcanic activity or sediment deposition, leading to a flat, elevated landform. Over time, rivers and streams erode the surface, cutting deep channels into the plateau and creating a network of valleys. This dissection by erosion results in a landscape characterized by steep cliffs and isolated flat-topped hills, known as mesas or buttes.
