Characteristics of volcanic plateaus? Pls tell

Geography
1 answer:
Stella [2.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Geomorphic characteristics:

Explanation:

- The high flat surface that defines a plateau can continue for hundreds or even thousands of kilometres.

- In spite of the paucity of roads, one can drive over most of that plateau, where elevations exceed 4,500 metres (about 14,760 feet).

- Plateaus dissected (eroded) by rivers have remarkably uniform maximum elevations, but their surfaces can be interrupted by deep canyons.

- In the case of some regions described as plateaus, the surface is so dissected that one does not see any flat terrain.

What is one disadvantage of using wind energy rather than burning coal to produce electricity

Personally I would say it's A (apart from the installation costs which may make it a little expensive) but it does involve certain aspects of D also as wind energy doesn't cause pollution. So either A or D! 

Hope I was of help! :)
