メサ
An isolated, distinctly flat-topped [[hill]] or [[mountain]] that stands above the surrounding plains. They tend to be surrounded by steeply eroded [[cliff|cliffs]] on all sides. Mesas are usually found in arid, hot and dry regions where rock layers are horizontal.

As part of the natural landscape in the Southwestern United States, mesas are a common sight in [[cowboy western]] settings.
