An elevated area of fairly flat land, or a
mountainous region in which the peaks are at
the same height. An intermontane plateau is
one surrounded by mountains. A piedmont
plateau is one that lies between the
mountains and low-lying land. A continental
plateau rises abruptly from low-lying lands
or the sea.
