butte
A mesa is a flat-topped landform with steep sides and a relatively small, flat area on top. It typically stands alone in a relatively flat landscape, like a table rising above the surrounding terrain. Mesas are commonly found in arid or semi-arid regions.
It is called a plateau
Flat topped hills or rock formations with steep walls on all sides are called a mesa. See the related links for more information. A plateau is a large ( as in many square miles), extended area, that is higher than the surrounding land
A steep hill standing alone is known as a butte. A butte is a geological formation characterized by a flat top and steep vertical sides, typically found in arid regions where erosion has exposed the hard rock layers. Buttes are formed through differential erosion, where softer rock surrounding a more resistant layer is eroded away, leaving behind the isolated hill structure.

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.

steep slope with a flat plateau on top
The flat land on the side of a mountain is called a plateau or a bench. It is a relatively flat area that provides a break in the steep slope of the mountain.
An area of elevated flat land is called a plateau. Plateaus are flat areas of high ground that are usually separated from surrounding areas by steep slopes or cliffs.
not steep. ps, vail is flat

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.
