Residual plateaus are elevated landforms that consist of flat or gently sloping terrain, formed from the remnants of eroded hills or mountains. They typically result from prolonged weathering and erosion processes that strip away softer materials, leaving behind more resistant rock layers. These plateaus can be found in various geological settings and often feature distinct topography with steep sides and flat tops. Their formation is associated with processes such as tectonic uplift and volcanic activity.
