A geologist out in the field comes across the landform pictured here. She identifies it as having steep slopes, which give it a higher elevation. The top, however, is relatively flat, so it has low relief.What type of landform is this?

A plateau is an elevated landform with a relatively flat top and steep sides. The flat top has low relief, while the steep slopes give the landform higher elevation. A mountain usually has a more peaked or uneven summit, so the described landform is a plateau.
