Yes
Small plateaus are called mesas. Mesas are elevated landforms with flat tops and steep sides, typically found in arid and semi-arid regions.
No, mesas and buttes are not types of cacti. Mesas are flat-topped mountains with steep sides, while buttes are isolated hills with flat tops and steep sides. Cacti are a type of succulent plant known for their spines and ability to store water.
A butte is steeper than a mesa. While both are elevated landforms with flat tops, buttes are generally smaller and feature more pronounced cliffs, giving them a steeper appearance compared to the broader, flatter surfaces of mesas. Additionally, hills and mountains can also be steeper than mesas, depending on their geological characteristics.
A mesa is a flat topped hill.
A high flat-topped landform is called a "mesa." Mesas are characterized by their steep sides and a flat top, often found in arid and semi-arid regions. They are formed through erosion, where harder rock layers resist weathering while softer layers below are worn away. Similar landforms include plateaus, but mesas are typically smaller than plateaus.

There is no exact number of mesas in the world as they are natural geological formations that vary in size and location. Mesas are commonly found in arid and semi-arid regions such as the southwestern United States and parts of Africa.
