	Plateau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plateaus (or plâteaux), like mesas and buttes, are formed when land has been uplifted by tectonic activity and then eroded by wind or water.
		Flat-topped, sheer-sided plateaus, like the tepuis of Guiana, are formed when a section of land is uplifted that is topped with a layer of particularly resistant rock, and underlain by softer rock.
		A dissected plateau may also be formed, usually on a comparatively small scale, by the levelling of terrain by planing and deposition beneath an ice sheet or perhaps, an ice cap.

		The project activities in the Khorat area are related to the solution of rock salt layers of the Maha Sarakham Formation, which are at relatively low depth below the surface.
		This is considered to be the reason for the land degradation in the Khorat Plateau.
		Due to the removal of the natural forest, the evapotranspiration has decreased enormously on the recharge mounds, causing rising water levels in the low-lying areas (groundwater discharge area).

	Geologic Structure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		There are three distinct geologic structural provinces in Thailand: the Khorat Plateau, the Chao Phya Depression, and the Region of Folded Mountains.
		A late Mesozoic orogeny is suggested by the folding of the Khorat Plateau and followed by intrusions of tin and tungsten bearing granite.
		The late Tertiary orogeny occurred by the elevation and gentle-down warping of the Khorat Plateau, by the depression of the Chao Phya region, and by high angle faulting, which is clearly shown by the Dong Rak range.

		The Northern Khorat Plateau Moist Deciduous Forests [IM0138] are located in the middle Mekong River Valley, along the border of Thailand and Laos.
		Therefore, these forests were placed in separate ecoregions, the former in the Northern Thailand-Laos Moist Deciduous Forests [IM0139] and the latter in the Northern Khorat Plateau Moist Deciduous Forests [IM0138].

		The Khorat Plateau has been investigated for hydrocarbon resources and consequently there are many thousands of kilometres of seismic section together with twenty boreholes that provide subsurface data.
		Even though general tectonic setting of the Southeast Asia is well accepted, the structural and stratigraphic evolution of the Khorat Plateau itself remains controversial.
		Consequently, the stratigraphic and structural evolution of the Plateau and its correlation to the subsurface remain poorly understood.

		The Khorat Plateau Basin of NE Thailand contains a proven hydrocarbon system, with commercial gas production from the Nam Phong field (peak 115 mmscfgd) and 3 other significant gas discoveries.
		A further 17 prospects have been drilled, of which all but 1 are now known to have been based on invalid play concepts.
		The key to understanding the hydrocarbon system has been the modern understanding of the nature of structures formed during basin inversion, combined with a revised plate-tectonic model, which explains the driving mechanisms and the relative timing of the separate inversion events.
