Ufa Plateau

Last updated April 01, 2019

The Ufa Plateau (Russian : Уфимское Плато, translit. Ufimskoye Plato) is a plateau where the city of Ufa is located in Bashkortostan and Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. Parts of the Ufa, Yuryuzan River, and Ay River basins are included in the plateau. The distance between the northern and southern ends of the plateau is 150 km (93 mi).

Russian is an East Slavic language, which is official in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as being widely used throughout Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It was the de facto language of the Soviet Union until its dissolution on 25 December 1991. Although, nowadays, nearly three decades after the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russian is used in official capacity or in public life in all the post-Soviet nation-states, as well as in Israel and Mongolia, the rise of state-specific varieties of this language tends to be strongly denied in Russia, in line with the Russian World ideology.

Romanization of Russian is the process of transliterating the Russian language from the Cyrillic script into the Latin script.

In geology and physical geography, a plateau, also called a high plain or a tableland, is an area of a highland, usually consisting of relatively flat terrain, that is raised significantly above the surrounding area, often with one or more sides with steep slopes. Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers. Plateaus are classified according to their surrounding environment as intermontane, piedmont, or continental.
