Flat (landform)

Summary

A flat is a relatively level surface of land within a region of greater relief, such as hills or mountains, usually used in the plural.[1][2][3][4] The term is often used to name places with such features, for example, Yucca Flat or Henninger Flats.

The village of Santarfa in Ethiopia is established on a structural flat along a 1000-metre-high escarpment

Flat is also used to describe other level geographic areas as mud flats or salt flats.
