A peak is well defined as the local high point. A Mesa or butte will always have at least one peak, but the peak may be in one corner, which could be several kilometers from the center of a mesa, and a Mesa might have a dozen different peaks around it. Similarly, one named natural=ridge can have a dozen peaks, sometime with different names. Those Australian geological definitions are good, and match the American ones that I found. A Mesa and Butte are both bordered by an escarpment (cliff), while a “plateau” can also just be an elevated level area without cliffs. Since buttes are small they can usually be tagged just as a peak, but mesas need a tag for the center of the area. >
