caption_attribution_description: English: Hayrick Butte, a tuya volcano next to Hoodoo ski area in Linn County, Oregon, United States
context_page_description: A table (landform) is a high rock structure with a flat top. There are many different terms for this landform feature.
  The tuya is a structure formed by a subglacial volcano. Lava erupts underneath an overlying glacier or ice sheet. It melts through to the surface and pools, producing the flat plateau on top with near-vertical walls along the ice-contact margin as the lava cools and hardens.
  A similar landform is the tepui, which has a rather different origin. A body of hard rock resists erosion. It was originally inside a body of softer rock such as limestone, which got eroded away to form a plain. The more resistant rock is left behind as an isolated mountain. The term is used for the table-top mountains of South America. Auyán-tepui in the Guiana Highlands, Venezuela is the source of the Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world. It is 19 times higher than Niagara Falls.
