hefplateaus
hefplateaus are a hypothesized class of plateau-like landforms described in some speculative geoscience discussions. They are defined by broad, relatively flat upper surfaces (plateaus) that exhibit a distinct, step-like terrace pattern produced by episodic tectonic uplift and long-term differential erosion. The term hefplateaus is not widely used in mainstream geology and is often encountered in thought experiments or worldbuilding contexts.
Morphology typically includes a high, flat summit, peripheral cliffs, and an array of rectangular or stair-step
In the literature, hefplateaus are described as potential outcomes of rapid uplift events coupled with sustained
Applications of the concept include education and landscape-evolution modeling. Researchers would rely on remote sensing, LiDAR,
Because hefplateaus are not an established term, studies are primarily theoretical. Any real-world parallels would require
