  1. Plateaus, known as “storehouses of minerals,” have flat or gently sloping surfaces and are generally elevated. They provide minerals but lack dense forests due to rocky and less fertile soils. While plateaus support sparse vegetation, they are vital for mining industries, contributing significantly to economies. The Deccan Plateau, for instance, has extensive mineral deposits and varied geography but is not heavily forested, exemplifying plateau characteristics and economic importance.
