Pyroclastic Plateau
Pyroclastic volcanic plateaus are produced by massive pyroclastic flows and they are underlain by pyroclastic rocks: agglomerates, tephra, volcanic ashes cemented into tuffs, mafic or felsic.
Examples include Shirasu-Daichi, which covers almost all of Southern Kyūshū, Japan, and the North Island Volcanic Plateau in New Zealand.
