What is the difference between a plain and a plateau?

A plain is a large stretch of flat land, a plateau is a large stretch of land above a plain.

Higher elevation is, obviously, higher than lower. It is more above sea level. The higher the elevation the more weather you have (i.e. snow)

Air masses generally form where turbulence is minimal, and over fairly flat and continous surfaces. So, any area on the earth, with prutrusions as mountain[eg. the andes mt] or areas with turbulence will not allow the formation of airmasses.

For an activity in any field a graph can be plotted regarding the activity against the time.It can be an economic growth graph.\n In such a case after a while there is no increase nor decrease and the graph line follows a straight line.\n This indicates that particular activity is now stabilized and reached a 'plateau' ( please see the meaning in a good dictionary.). This is called a plateau effect.

Varied.  There are mountains, and there are sandy plains.  There are raging volcanos, and quiet deserts, fertile expanses, and deep unexplored crevices.

A feet is a measure of lenght while an acre measures a surface.  You could say, as "Dr. Math" suggests here that there are 43560 SQUARED feet in an acre:\nhttp://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/59068.html\nWhen in doubt about Math, always Ask Dr. Math! ;-)

It's kida hard to explain comprehensively in 1000 characters or less, so the next best thing I can do right now is put a link to a website that explains the  diferences in layman's term in the source below.\nHope that helps you out.

the difference is big.\nBasicaly an alpine glacier is a mountain glacier and it doesn't cover as much ground as the continental glacier.\nIt can be found in the high mountains where the temperatures are low enough for the ice to stay all over the year. Because of the temperature change their borders are not constant. Can be larger during the winter and smaller through the summer.\n\nThe continental glaciers are carachteristic for the poles. The cover enourmus surfaces like on Greenland, Arktic, Antharctik and lots of islands that suround them.

Ok rain and snow are part of it lol. The other is springs or ground water table.\nThe water table does not go by flat land or mountains lol. It is like a sponge that is soaked up with water and you fold it wat is still there but you got low water table with it and and you got high water table with it . Kinda goes with the land construe.\nFor an example If you drill a well on low flat land you may have to go down say 90 ft. When you drill on mountain you may only have to go down 45ft.

Main ones are: \nalbedo (reflection lowers heating)\nheat capacity (land heats differently than water)\nand #1: direct sunlight (hot) vs. indirect (not as hot).

Surface maps only show the conditions near the surface (1000 mb), jet streams and upper level pressure systems have more to do with weather than surface conditions.  The winds and pressures at different elevations can vary greatly from those at the surface.

A physical map shows physical features such as mountain ranges, etc. A political map shows man-made boundaries such as state lines, etc.

Sorry, what's the difference again?

the main difference is the architecture adn the other is that...............\n\nAlmost all the northern temples are located or reserved to the river sides only,\n but the sourthern temples are not reserved to the river banks but very few of them.

smaller.  you are so far away you can't see the bottom, only the top half or so.
