Answer:

A plateau is a higher elevation with a flat top whereas a mountain has a spike on top. They are similar because they both have some elevation and are only found in certain areas around the world.

Hope that helped you:)

Answer:

Although plateaus stand at higher elevation than surrounding terrain, they differ from mountain ranges in that they are remarkably flat
