A butte.
A steep-sided hill or mountain that stands alone and is usually smaller than a mesa is called a butte.
A butte is a steep-sided hill or mountain that stands alone and is usually smaller than a mesa. Its distinct shape is often created by weathering and erosion of surrounding rock layers.
A foothill is the base of a mountain or a hill at the lower elevations, while a plateau is a flat-topped elevated landform with steep sides. Foothills are typically found at the base of mountains, gradually rising towards the mountains, while plateaus are typically high, flat areas that are elevated above surrounding land.
There are actually three different names that can be used to describe a high, flat topped mountain or hill. These names are plateau, mesa, and butte. These flat top mountains are also called Tepui (or tepuy) in the native language of the Pemon, the original inhabitants of the Gran Sabana area in Venezuela. It means "house of the gods".
A plateau is a flat-topped elevated landform, while a mountain is a raised area of land that is larger and steeper than a hill. Plateaus are generally characterized by their flat, level surfaces, while mountains are defined by their peaks and steep slopes.

Butte
A steep hill with a flat top that stands alone is called a mesa. This geological formation is typically found in arid regions and is characterized by its distinct flat summit and steep sides. Mesas are created through erosion and weathering processes over millions of years.

A table-shaped hill with a flat top and steep sides is typically called a mesa. Mesas are found in arid and semi-arid regions and are formed through erosion processes exposing resistant rock layers. They are often distinctive landforms in desert landscapes.
