A tablemount is a flat-topped mountain that resembles a table. Common synonyms for tablemount include mesa, butte, plateau, elevated plain, and tableland. Mesa and butte are often used interchangeably with tablemount, as they also describe flat-topped mountains. Plateau and elevated plain are broader terms that can describe any elevated, flat region, and are often used to describe geologic features that are larger than a single mountain. The term tableland is similar to tablemount but refers to a broader, flatter region without the steep sides typically found on some tablemounts. Regardless of the term used, these unique geological formations are breathtaking and serve as popular tourist destinations.
