What is the difference?
- 1Shape: Fjeld is typically characterized by steep slopes and peaks, while plateau is flat and has a relatively large surface area.
- 2Vegetation: Fjeld is barren and has little vegetation, while plateau can be covered in lush greenery.
- 3Climate: Fjeld is cold and harsh with snow and ice cover, while plateau can have a relatively stable climate.
- 4Formation: Fjeld is formed by tectonic activity, while plateau can be formed by volcanic activity or erosion.
- 5Usage: Fjeld is less commonly used than plateau and is typically associated with mountainous regions, while plateau can be found in various locations and contexts.
Remember this!
Fjeld and plateau are both elevated landforms, but they differ in shape, vegetation, climate, formation, and usage. A fjeld is a high and barren mountainous region with steep slopes and peaks, while a plateau is a flat and elevated area of land with a relatively large surface area that can be covered in lush greenery. The climate on a fjeld is cold and harsh with snow and ice cover, while a plateau can have a relatively stable climate. Fjeld is less commonly used than plateau and is typically associated with mountainous regions, while plateau can be found in various locations and contexts.
