Question
mesas are formed from _______.
o volcanoes
o plateaus
o buttes
o faults
Brief Explanations
Mesas are formed by the erosion of plateaus. Over time, erosion wears away the softer rock around the edges of a plateau, leaving behind the more resistant rock in the middle which forms a mesa. Volcanoes create volcanic - related landforms, buttes are smaller and more isolated than mesas, and faults are fractures in the Earth's crust and not directly related to mesa formation.
