Answer 1

Answer: A plateau forms when a flat block of rock is uplifted, and a fault-block mountain does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

A plateau is referred to as an elevated landform that is flat, which elevates above its surrounding area. It is formed when a flat block of rock is uplifted.

Fault-block mountains are formed when huge crustal blocks move along faults that are formed as a result of the tensional forces which pull apart the crust.
