A continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth.

Generally identified by
convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded
as continents. Ordered from largest in size to smallest, they are: Asia, Africa, North
America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

A plateau is a flat area of land that is elevated above sea level. The word is French for
'table land,' and that term is also used for some smaller landforms that will be discussed
further into this lesson. Plateaus aren't all perfectly flat, but they do have low relief;
relief means the elevation change across an area.

Given the rather straightforward definition, you may be surprised to learn that there are
a lot of different kinds of plateaus. Plateaus are classified based on how they form and
where they are found. Most plateaus are found in areas of tectonic uplift, which is often,
but not always, associated with mountain ranges. But, they can form in other ways, as
well.

In geography, a plain is a flat area. Plains occur as lowlands along the bottoms of
valleys, coastal plains and as plateaus or uplands at high elevations. In a valley,
aplain is enclosed on two sides but in other cases a plainmay be delineated by a
complete or partial ring of hills, by mountains or cliffs.
