Solution

Intermontane Plateaus

Explanation:

Intermontane plateaus are plateaus that are formed between fold mountains and are surrounded by mountains and hills on all sides. These plateaus are usually located at high altitudes and are often formed by tectonic processes. An example of an intermontane plateau is the Tibetan Plateau, which is surrounded by mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
