Best Answer

The Cumberland Plateau is considered a constructive plateau. Constructive plateaus are formed by tectonic processes that uplift and elevate large landmasses over a long period of time. In the case of the Cumberland Plateau, it was uplifted by the collision of tectonic plates during the formation of the Appalachian Mountains millions of years ago. This uplift created a relatively flat, elevated landform that is characteristic of constructive plateaus.
