  • Mesa Landform: Definition, Characteristics & Differences
    A landform with flat land and steep sides is called a mesa.

    Here's why:

    * Mesa: "Mesa" is Spanish for "table," and these landforms look like flat-topped tables with steep cliffs on all sides.

    * Plateau: A plateau is a large, flat area of land that is raised above the surrounding land. While a plateau can have steep sides, it doesn't necessarily have to be flat on top.

    * Butte: A butte is similar to a mesa, but it's smaller and more pointed.
