A plateau is a largish level area of land raised substantially higher than adjoining land. Plateaus are usually perceived as quite big. A mesa (note spelling with one "s") is like a small plateau. A butte is a hill that rises abruptly without other hills around it, and is typically smaller than a mesa.
A butte is actually smaller than a mesa. A butte is a smaller flat topped hill, while a mesa is a medium flat topped hill. Buttes and mesas are most often seen in the southwestern region of the US.
A small one is a mesa or a butte; a large on is a plateau.
A plateau and a coastal plain are not defined by size, but by elevation (a plateau is at a high level) and proximity to the sea (a coastal plain is bordered on at least one side by the sea). Specific examples of each can be smaller or larger than examples of the other.
