Mesa
steep slope with a flat plateau on top
A steep-sided tower of rock that is geologically distinct from the surrounding mesa is typically referred to as a "butte." Buttes are created through the differential erosion of sedimentary rock layers, often resulting in a tall, isolated landform with a flat top and steep vertical sides.
It is called a plateau
This geological feature is known as a butte. Buttes are typically formed by erosion, often in arid regions, where the surrounding landscape has been slowly worn away, leaving behind a solitary hill with steep sides and a flat top.
A mesa is a small, high plateau with steep sides. These are often found in the southwestern part of the United States.
A raised flat landform is called a plateau. Plateaus are elevated areas of land that are generally flat on top, with steep sides. They can be formed by processes such as volcanic activity, erosion, or tectonic uplift.
A landform with steep sides that rises sharply from the surrounding land is called a "butte" if it has a flat top, or a "mesa" if it is larger and also flat-topped. If the landform is particularly high and steep, it may be referred to as a "mountain" or "cliff." These features are often formed through geological processes such as erosion and uplift.
A flat-topped raised land area is called a plateau. Plateaus are elevated landforms with a relatively level top and steep sides that rise above the surrounding area.
A plateau is a large flat area of land that is elevated above the surrounding landscape. Plateaus are often formed by the erosion of mountains or by the lifting of land due to tectonic forces. They can be characterized by their flat top and steep sides.
