En geografía, una '''meseta'''<ref>{{drae}}</ref> es una altiplanicie extensa situada a una determinada altitud sobre el nivel del mar (más de 500 m s. n. m.) provocada por fuerzas tectónicas, por [[erosión]] del terreno circundante, o por el emergimiento de una meseta submarina. También se genera por la convergencia de las [[placas tectónicas]]. Además son antiguas montañas fuertemente erosionadas por la acción de distintos agentes. Es por ello que hoy se presenta como una elevación del terreno con superficie plana compuestas por rocas duras y resistentes.

m.) provocada por fuerzas tectónicas, por [[erosión]] del terreno circundante, o por el emergimiento de una meseta submarina. También se genera por la convergencia de las [[placas tectónicas]]. Además son antiguas montañas fuertemente erosionadas por la acción de distintos agentes. Es por ello que hoy se presenta como una elevación del terreno con superficie plana compuestas por rocas duras y resistentes.
En el primer caso, las fuerzas tectónicas producen el elevamiento de una serie de estratos que se mantienen horizontales con respecto al entorno; en el segundo caso, los agentes externos (principalmente ríos) erosionan la parte de la superficie menos resistente a la erosión, creando la meseta; y en el último, la meseta proviene del emergimiento de una meseta volcánica. Las mesetas volcánicas se forman en el agua.
