Quick Summary

The Di Linh Plateau is a region in southern Vietnam, part of the Annamese Cordillera mountain range. It is characterized by heavily eroded plateaus, with elevations around 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) above sea level. This plateau is geologically complex, featuring exposed crystalline basement overlain by basaltic lava flows. The climate is tropical monsoon, with significant rainfall supporting rainforests, though deforestation has occurred. The Di Linh Plateau is distinct from the Bolovens Plateau in Laos, which is also part of the Annamese Cordillera but has different elevations and rainfall patterns.123
