	Plateau - The shape of the land, Forces and changes, Spotlight on famous forms
		Plateaus that contain rivers also contain canyons that have been cut by the rivers as they have sought to reach the level of the lake or ocean into which they flow.
		If the plateau is built on sedimentary rock (rock formed by the accumulation and compression of sediment, which may consist of rock fragments, remains of microscopic organisms, and minerals), its layers will tend to be horizontal, and the landforms on it will have level or flat tops.
		The plateau itself is still geologically active and continues to rise, gaining an average of 0.04 inch (0.1 centimeter) per year in elevation.

	Swiss plateau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the north and northwest, the Swiss plateau is sharply delimited geographically and geologically by the Jura mountains.
		In the southwest, the Swiss plateau is confined by the Lake Geneva, in the northeast, by the Lake Constance and the Rhine.
		After the retreat of the Roman Empire, the western Swiss plateau was occupied by the romanized Burgundians, the central and the eastern plateau by the Alamanni, thus emerging the language border.

	Western Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Western Australia is Australia's largest state in area, covering the western third of the mainland, and is bordered by South Australia and the Northern Territory.
		Western Australia was granted self-government in 1889 with a bicameral House of Parliament, located in Perth, consisting of the Legislative Assembly (or lower house), and the Legislative Council (or upper house).
		Whilst the sovereign of Western Australia is the Queen of Australia (Queen Elizabeth II), and executive power nominally vested in her State representative the Governor (currently Ken Michael), executive power is effectively administered by the premier and ministers.

		Western Australia has, in its northern half, several isolated mountain ranges, including the King Leopold and Hamersley ranges.
		The interior is relatively flat except for several eroded mountain chains, such as the Stuart Range and the Musgrave Ranges in the northern part of South Australia and the Macdonnell Ranges in the southern part of the Northern Territory.
		The great plateau of western Australia is underlain by a vast, stable shield of Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks, ranging in age from 570 million to 3 billion years old.

	Change and Continuity in Nomadic Pastoralism on the Western Tibetan plateau
		This changtang corresponds roughly to the Northern Tibet Plateau sub-area of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau as it is defined by Chinese scientists.
		The Northern Tibet Plateau includes most of the central-northern part of Tibet and western Qinghai, and is bounded in the north by the Kunlun mountains and by the Gandise range in the south (see map 1).
		Reference to the area as a plateau, however, is somewhat misleading since rather than being flat, it actually consists of many small mountain chains interspersed between high altitude valleys and plains.

		The western plateau slopes gently southward and merges imperceptibly into an area known as the Haud, a broad, undulating terrain that constitutes some of the best grazing lands for Somali nomads, despite the lack of appreciable rainfall more than half the year.

	Restocking and Settling Nomads Following Severe Snowstorms
		Average annual precipitation on the Tibetan plateau varies from about 700 mm in the east to less than 100 mm in the west, with most of this falling from June to September, often as wet snow and hail.
		The Tibetan plateau consists mainly of rangelands, one of the largest grazing ecosystems in the world and one that is floristically distinctive (Schaller 1998).
		Nomadic pastoralism on the Tibetan plateau is distinct ecologically from pastoralism in the semi-arid pastoral regions of Eurasia and Africa.

	EPA-MAIA - Mid-Atlantic Highlands Streams Assessment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Based on the principles described above, the ecological condition of streams in the Western Appalachians would be considered the poorest of any ecoregion in the Highlands with respect to aquatic insects, and among the worst with respect to fish biotic integrity (Figures 26 and 27).
		Far and away the most common stressor in the Western Appalachians is sedimentation, with more than 38% of the stream length in the region exhibiting excessive fine sediments (Figure 28).
		Agricultural land use, which is common in the Western Appalachians, is also correlated with sediment problems; these are often associated with high phosphorus concentrations, because phosphorus attaches to fine soil particles and runs off into streams during the same high discharge storms that carry sediments into streams.

		Crook subsequently pursued the Apache into every corner of their territory and during the winter of 1872-73 succeeded in confiscating and burning most of their stores of cornmeal, dried meat, wild seeds, and roasted mescal which were their entire winter diet.
