Editing Plateau (section)

=== Africa ===
The highest African plateau is the [[Ethiopian Highlands]] which cover the central part of Ethiopia. It forms the largest continuous area of its altitude in the continent, with little of its surface falling below 1,500 metres (4,921 ft), while the summits reach heights of up to 4,556 metros(14,928 ft). It is sometimes called the Roof of Africa due to its height and large area

Another example is the [[Highveld]] which is the portion of the South African inland plateau which has an altitude above approximately 1,500 metres, but below 2,100 metres, thus excluding the Lesotho mountain regions. It is home to some of the largest South African [[urban area|urban agglomerations]].

In Egypt are the [[Giza Plateau]]<ref>{{cite book|title=The Ibis|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ML5HAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA206|year=1906|pages=206–}}</ref> and [[Galala Mountain]], which was once called Gallayat Plateaus, rising 3,300 ft above sea level.<ref name="MikhailMoussa2009">{{cite book|first1=Maged S.
