If you think about the term - lava plateaus - you'll have your answer.
You know what lava is (I hope).
A plateau is a wide flat highland area.
So a lava plateau is a flat, wide surface formed when lava comes out of the ground and spreads out very quickly. The lava layers form a lava plateau:
- they are large landforms
- basaltic rock
- layered structure
- tend to be flat and featureless

Well *Major extrusive landforms. *They are extensive areas of basaltic lava with a layered structure. *Lava accumulations with each eruption over time. *They tend to be flat and featureless. * Ocean ridge eruptions produce huge abyssal plains an the sea floor.
