Plateau
In geology and physical geography, a plateau (; ; ), also called a high plain or a tableland, is an area of a highland consisting of flat terrain that is raised sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Often one or more sides have deep hills or escarpments. Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers. Plateaus are classified according to their surrounding environment as intermontane, piedmont, or continental. A few plateaus may have a small flat top while others have wide ones. Formation Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, Plate tectonics movements and erosion by water and glaciers. Volcanic Volcanic plateaus are produced by volcanic activity. The Columbia Plateau in the north-western United States is an example. They may be formed by upwelling of volcanic magma or extrus ...

Hellín Hellín is a city and municipality of Spain located in the province of Albacete, Castilla–La Mancha. The municipality spans across a total area of 781.66 km2. As of 1 January 2020, it has a population of 30,200, which makes it the second largest municipality in the province. It belongs to the ''comarca'' of Campos de Hellín. History There is an archaeological site at Tolmo de Minateda hill near Hellín, with phases of Iberian, Roman and Visigoth occupation. There are archaeological evidences suggesting that the Minateda site may have stood at some point at the Byzantine side of the ''limes''. A tentative identification with the ''Iyih'' mentioned in the Pact of Theodemir has been also proposed. Minateda was thus probably known as ''Madinat Iyyuh'' during the Islamic period. The Arabic name of Hellín was however ''Falyān'', which eventually evolved into 'Felín', and then 'Hellín'. The importance of the Sulfur-rich mining district in the south of the municipality led to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] |
