Detailed explanation-1: -Formed tens of millions of years ago by successive outpourings of lava, the Sanetti Plateau towers over southeastern Ethiopia. The plateau spreads across thousands of square kilometers; with much it at 3, 000 meters (10, 000 feet) above sea level, it is the most extensive high-altitude feature in Africa.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of South Africa’s landscape is made up of high, flat areas called plateaus. These lands are covered with rolling grasslands, called highveld, and tree-dotted plains called bushveld. To the east, south, and west of the plateau lands is a mountainous region called the Great Escarpment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plateaus of the Sahara, such as the Tademaït Plateau of Algeria, are typically covered with angular, weathered rock. In the central Sahara, the monotony of the plains and plateaus is broken by prominent volcanic massifs-including Mount ʿUwaynat and the Tibesti and Ahaggar mountains.
