A very long time before a mesa is formed, the ground was flat or with hills. since mesas are mostly where they don't get much water from the sky, they are mostly formed by rivers and runoff such as the rocky mountains which is much higher then mesas in Utah, NM, Colorado and Arizona. Mesas are known for their steep cliffs and flat tops. mesas have run off from wetter seasons. Mesas have a solid Layers of rock from when it use to be flat and pressed each season. The cliffs that people like to climb are from the run off on top of the mesa causing a somewhat of a water fall effect braking rock off into the flash flood caused valleys. That is the best way to describe that I have noticed from remnants I have hiked while living in Utah.
