        Plateau and mesa are differentiated by scope. Plateau covers a very large area, mesa is like a cut-off mountain (it’s localised)

        Mesa is basically a flat top mountain. Plateau is a flat area on any ‘hill’ and a butte is a column with a flat top.

    I think they forgot “escarpment.” Then again it doesn’t get used a lot. Also scree slope, bluff, ravine, and a host of other smaller things are missing. And I suspect even if they got all of those things, they’d forget “crick” which is a creek that dries up in summer.

    I had this exact poster hanging in my classroom when I taught fourth grade in 2005-2006.

    That’s supposed to say “cave” right? Not cove? (Which I always took to be a sort of micro bay)

      I think that might be an ‘a’ but def looks like it could be cove with how low resolution the image is. I suppose that is appropriate, all of my school materials seemed to be photocopies of photocopies.
