Plateaus are important as it brings a level of economic value to the country. plateaus are a good source of minerals and are useful for agriculture.
impoatnace of plateau
(1) Plateaus and Minerals - The plateaus are famous for minerals. The plateau of France, the Deccan plateau of India, Western Australian plateau and Brazilian plateau are very good sources of minerals. I
(2) Plateaus and Agriculture - Plateaus are not very useful from the point of view of agriculture. The hard rocks on plateaus cannot form fertile soil but agricultural activities are promoted where lava soils have developed. Lava soil in developed form is found on the terraced slopes of Indonesia. This soil promotes agriculture. It is difficult to dig wells and canals in plateaus. This hampers irrigation.
(4) Plateaus and Vegetation - Grass grows on plateaus. Animals are reared on it. The plateaus of Australia, Patagonia and South Africa are well known for the rearing of goats and hippos.
How do water wind and ice change landforms?
Water can have a big impact on cities that are near the coast. Waves and tides hit the shore, overtime, the shore will erode,causing enviromental problems. Glaciers also affect landform. Huge glaciers that push against the land leaves marks, such as drumlins. Drumlins are teardrop shaped mounds left behind by a glacier, the direction it is pointing in is where the glacier is traveling towards.

What are the impacts on peninsula?
Peninsulas, as a geographic landform, are important because these areas extend into the ocean. However, the value of any particular peninsula (Florida, Iberia, Korea, Kamchatka, Malay, Arabian, etc.) is dependent on many factors specific to those peninsulas individually (such as the waterways near them, the countries that control them, the availability of useful ports, etc.)
What is the largest archipelago?

The most logical way to get to Uluru from Sydney by road is the following: * head west along the South Western Motorway which then becomes the South Western Freeway * continue along as the Hume Highway * bear left towards Tarcutta on the Sturt Highway, continuing right through to Mildura in far western Victoria * continue along towards Barmera and Morgan, then turn northwest towards Port Augusta * continue north up the Stuart Highway until you reach the junction of the Lasseter Highway * Turn left down the Lasseter to get to Uluru / Ayers Rock This covers a distance of 2820 kilometres, and such a trip should be spread over many days. Many people merely take a flight from Sydney to Alice Springs, then a flight or bus to Uluru.
