Extending 750 km between the mouths of the Tira and Dzherba rivers, the plateau is composed of Cambrian and Ordovician gypsum-and salt-bearing limestones, of dolomites, and occasionally of sandstones. It is covered with taiga pine and larch forests; there are meadows in the river valleys. Deposits of gypsum and rock salt are found on the plateau.
