Think about it.

Hey, folks, ...isn't this really interesting:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Plate_tectonics

I've been doing some homework and discovered that nobody who considers
themself knowledgeable about Plate Tectonics has made a wiki-entry on
Plateaus.

Also, I've got a book here "Fundamentals of Geomorphology" (J. Rice;
Longman Wiley, 2nd edition, 1988 (I wonder how many editions it runs
to) - published on the cheap with figs in black and white - and it
doesn't even have an index entry for 'plateau'. Mind you, ..it
doesn't have one for 'basin' either, but 'Plateau' is hardly a
geological term, where 'basin' might be

Isn't that interesting, considering that "About 40% of the
Continental crust is made up of plateaus" ...according to the
Encyclopedia Brittanica. And Plate Tectonics has no explanation how
they form.

And bounded by escarpments, eh? ... (The plot thickens...)

Awww, Ummm, ...(porridge...) (soup...) (hot air balloons)
(floaties....) (Archimedes)

What a joke.

Jeez, ..I feel another strike coming on.. What we up to? Strike 17?
