1. Explain the structure of plateaus.

Ans:- A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Plateaus occur on every continent and take up a third of the Earths land. ... A dissected plateau forms as a result of upward movement in the Earths crust.

2.What is the difference between a mountain and a plateau.

Ans:- i.Mountains are defined as the elevations that have appeared from the earth's surface. On the other hand, plateaus are defined as a flat surface. Plateau is also called as a tableland.

ii.Mountains are formed because of the movements in the tectonic plate. Due to this geographical activity, several variations are formed in the mountains like folding, volcanic activities, etc.Plateaus are formed due to an upsurge in volcanic activities, erosion in waters, glaciers, etc.

iii.Mountains are cone-shaped.Plateaus are table-shaped.

iv.Mountains have a good elevation and are naturally formed.Plateaus can be either elevated or short.

v.In mountain regions, the climate becomes colder as one moves in an upward direction.On the other hand, the weather in plateaus is dry.

3.How does a volcanic mountain form?

Ans:- Volcanic mountains form when molten rock from deep inside the Earth erupts through the crust and piles up on itself. ... When magma pushes the crust up but hardens before erupting onto the surface, it forms so-called dome mountains.

6.Why are plateaus called a rich source of minerals?

Ans:- Plateaus represent the ancient shield of earth crust. This ancient shield is formed due to volcanic eruptions which contains solidified magma. Magma is rich in mineral reserves which are important in present day. Hence, plateaus are rich in mineral deposits.

7. Differentiate between the lifestyle of people living in the mountains and on plains.

Ans:- Life of people living in plains:-
