Where are Mexico's plateaus?

Answer 1

There is no "limestone plateau" in Mexico. You either refer to 1) The Mexican Central Plateau, which is an altiplano found in central Mexico where cities such as Mexico, Toluca Guanajuato or Queretaro are found or 2) the Yucatan peninsula, a flat land mostly composed of limestone that can be found on southeastern Mexico.

Answer 2

The Mexican Central Plateau or Mexican Altiplano is quite a large region. It roughly covers 80% of the Mexican territory with a length of some 1500 kilometers (950 miles) delimited by the border with the United States to the north, and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt to the south. As such, it has several types of climate:

Arid or semiarid conditions are encountered in the northern Altiplano, and also significant portions of the southern Altiplano. Rainfall in these regions averages between 300 and 600 millimeters (12-24 inches) per year, and temperature variations are pronounced, between 5°C (41°F) on winter up to 42°C (107°F) on summer months.

Towns and cities on the Mexican Altiplano, as well as those found along the Sierra Madre mountain ranges bellow the 1,000 meter mark (3,300 feet) have relatively constant, pleasant temperatures throughout the year between 16°C (61°F) and 20°C (68°F); the most common climate is subtropical highland.

On the other hand, more northerly locations experience sizable seasonal variations. Above 2,000 meters (6,600 feet), temperatures drop as low as an average yearly range between 8°C (47°F) and 12°C (54°F). Parts of the northern Altiplano and high peaks in the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental occasionally receive significant snowfalls.

Answer 3

Mexico has several plateaus scattered throughout the country, with the most prominent being the Mexican Plateau (also known as the Central Plateau or the Mesa Central).
