A round-topped hill, often referred to as a "hilltop" or "dome," is a geographical feature characterized by a smooth, rounded summit. These hills typically form through geological processes such as erosion or volcanic activity, resulting in a gently sloping profile. They can be found in various landscapes and are often significant for their scenic views and ecosystems, providing habitats for diverse flora and fauna.

A mesa is a flat topped hill.
A flat-topped hill formed by horizontal igneous intrusion is known as a "mesa." This geological feature occurs when magma intrudes into horizontal layers of sedimentary rock, solidifies, and later gets exposed through erosion, forming a flat summit. The surrounding softer rock erodes away more quickly, leaving the harder, more resistant igneous rock elevated and flat on top. Mesas are commonly found in arid regions and are characterized by steep sides and a relatively flat surface.
