Definition: Flat area of land or plateau higher than other land, with one or more clifflike edges.
Alright class, settle down and listen close, Let’s talk about ‘mesa,’ a geological dose! The dictionary tells you, clear and bright, "A flat area of land, a wonderful sight!" But it's more than just a plain to see, It has a special quality – can you agree? Think of it like this, a plateau grand, With edges rising, close at hand. Like cliffs they stand, a rocky embrace, A mesa’s form is quite a space! So “mesa” means a landform tall and wide, Flat in the center, with cliffs beside! Does that make sense to you, my dear students true? Any questions about this landscape view?
