Abstract

The authors present the physiognomic and deep characteristics of the seven largest plateaus on Earth. In the second part, the evidence used by the Earth science's community to infer rock and/or surface uplifts of plateaus are reviewed. Finally, the authors briefly present the debate between the feedbacks between plateaus uplift and global climate change. Some of the results contained in this chapter are still under debate and ongoing research is still needed to confirm them because different studies invoke for a same object contradictory processes, in that they result in conflicting uplift history. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
