butte
A steep hill with a flat top that stands alone is called a "mesa." Mesas are typically found in arid or semi-arid regions and are characterized by their steep sides and broad, flat summits. They are formed through the process of erosion, where softer rock layers are worn away, leaving the harder rock on top intact.
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.
escarpment, or plateau:))
This could describe a plateau, a flat elevated landform that is higher than the surrounding area but not as steep as a hill. Plateaus often have a broad, flat surface at the top.
A butte is actually smaller than a mesa. A butte is a smaller flat topped hill, while a mesa is a medium flat topped hill. Buttes and mesas are most often seen in the southwestern region of the US.
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 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.
