Plateau pressure is determined by the compliance of the lungs and chest wall, as well as the volume of air in the lungs at end-inspiration. It is affected by factors such as lung disease, obesity, and the presence of chest wall abnormalities. Monitoring plateau pressure is important in managing mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients to prevent lung injury.
The Himalayas are located in Asia, spanning across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan. They run from east to west, forming a natural border between the Indian subcontinent and the Tibetan Plateau.
A plateau is a land area having a relatively level surface considerably raised above adjoining land on at least one side, and often cut by deep canyons. A plain is an area of land not significantly higher than adjacent areas and with relatively minor differences in elevation, commonly less than 500 ft. (150 m), within the area.
One way to add thermal energy to a substance without increasing its temperature is through a phase change, such as melting or boiling. During these changes of state, the added energy is used to break the bonds between molecules rather than increasing their kinetic energy, resulting in a temporary plateau in temperature.
During a phase change, such as from solid to liquid or liquid to gas, energy is being absorbed or released as the molecules rearrange themselves. This results in a temperature plateau since the added energy is not causing a change in kinetic energy (temperature) but rather breaking intermolecular bonds. This flat stretch represents the point where the substance is transitioning between phases.
The plateau pressure is the pressure applied (in positive pressure ventilation) to the small airways and alveoli. It is believed that control of the plateau pressure is important, as excessive stretch of alveoli has been implicated as the cause of ventilator induced lung injury. The peak pressure is the pressure measured by the ventilator in the major airways, and it strongly reflects airways resistance. For example, in acute severe asthma, there is a large gradient between the peak pressure (high) and the plateau pressure (normal). In pressure controlled ventilation, the pressure limit is (usually) the plateau pressure due to the dispersion of gas in inspiration. In volume control, the pressure measured (the PAW) by the ventilator is the peak airway pressure, which is really the pressure at the level of the major airways. To know the real airway pressure, the plateau pressure which is applied at alveolar level, the volume breath must be made to simulate a pressure breath. An inspiratory hold (0.5 to 1 second) is applied, and the airway pressure, from the initial peak, drops down to a plateau. The hold represents a position of no flow.
one lives on a mountain, one on a plateau
a plain is a flat land and a plateau is more raised
"Plateau" refers to a raised flat area of land, while "plateaux" is the plural form of plateau, referring to multiple flat areas of land. "Plateau" is used for a single flat-topped landform, whereas "plateaux" is used to describe multiple such landforms.
The Northern Plain is a low-lying region formed by the depositional activity of rivers like the Ganges and Indus, characterized by fertile alluvial soil. The Peninsular Plateau is an elevated region made up of hard igneous and metamorphic rocks, with plateaus and hills like the Deccan Plateau. The Northern Plain is flatter and more agriculturally productive, while the Peninsular Plateau is older, more rugged, and mineral-rich.

malwa plateau
A plateau.
The high plateau between the coastal mountains and the Rockies is called the Intermountain Plateau.
Deccan plateau is a plateau formed very early in terms of history of Indian geography in volcanic movement while Malabar coast lies along side west of Deccan plateau. Also Deccan plateau is a triangle formed by western ghat, eastern ghat and Satpura range. while Malabar is just coastal area lying west of western ghat.
Rivers which rise from Himalayas contain water throughout the year due to melting snow of Himalayas, whereas rivers of Deccan plateau contain water only during rainy season.
