Question

l17 s2 deccan plateau
what makes a plateau different form a mountain?
plateaus are much higher than mountains.
plateaus have rivers running through them.
plateaus have flat tops, unlike mountains.
plateaus are only made from granite.

Explanation:

A plateau is a flat - topped elevated landform. Mountains, on the other hand, typically have pointed or irregularly shaped summits. The height comparison (plateaus being much higher) is incorrect as mountains can be very high (e.g., Mount Everest). Many landforms can have rivers running through them, not a unique feature of plateaus. Plateaus are not only made from granite.

Answer:

Plateaus have flat tops, unlike mountains.
