Flat-topped hill with steep sides
A high hill with a flat top and very steep sides, usually in a dry or desert place.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[a mesa] rises above [the surrounding land]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners who know Spanish sometimes think 'mesa' means 'table' in English. In English, 'mesa' almost always refers only to the landform, not to furniture. It is also sometimes confused with 'plateau'; a plateau is usually larger and may not have such steep sides, while a mesa is more isolated and hill-like.
คำพ้องความหมาย
plateau (Usually larger and more extensive than a mesa; may refer to a whole region, not just a single landform.)
|
tableland (A more formal or literary word; often used for a wide, flat high area, not always with very steep sides like a mesa.)
คำตรงข้าม
valley (A low area of land between hills or mountains, the opposite of a high-standing mesa.)
|
canyon (A deep, narrow valley with steep sides; where a mesa rises above the land, a canyon cuts down into it.)

A city in the state of Arizona in the United States, near Phoenix.
รูปแบบการใช้:

ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes treat 'Mesa' like a common noun and write 'the Mesa' when they mean the city. As a city name, it is a proper noun and normally does not take 'the': you say 'I live in Mesa', not 'I live in the Mesa.'
คำพ้องความหมาย
Mesa, Arizona (The full proper name of the city, used to avoid confusion with other places named Mesa.)
คำตรงข้าม
Phoenix (Not a true semantic opposite, but a nearby major city that learners might confuse with Mesa; included as a contrasting place name.)
