Solution

Piedmont plateaus are upland areas located at the foot of mountains. They lie between mountain ranges on one side and plains or seas on the other. These plateaus form a transitional zone where the mountains meet flatter land. Examples of piedmont plateaus include the Malwa Plateau in India and the Patagonian Plateau in South America. They represent regions of elevated flat terrain adjacent to mountain bases.
