=== Erosion === Plateaus can also be formed by the erosional processes of [[glacier]]s on mountain ranges, leaving them sitting between the mountain ranges. Water can also erode mountains and other landforms down into plateaus. [[Dissected plateau]]s are highly eroded plateaus cut by rivers and broken by deep narrow valleys. An example is the [[Scottish Highlands]].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Garcia-Castellanos |first=D. |date=2007 |title=The role of climate during high plateau formation.
