English term or phrase: badlands
Definition from Glossary Of Geography:
Very irregular topography resulting from wind and water erosion of sedimentary rock.

Example sentence(s):
  • Badlands are semiarid regions with sparse vegetation that experience high rates of erosion. Water and wind, instead of carving gentle hills and broad valleys, sculpt soft sedimentary rock into intricate mazes of narrow ravines, v-shaped gullies, knife-sharp ridges, buttes, and colorful pinnacles. SOUTH DAKOTA BADLANDS
  • Both badlands and gullies appear to have developed since European settlement and to be part of the same hydrological system with extensive areas of bare ground (badlands) feeding water to incising gullies. ScienceDirect
  • n the Badlands, soils can consist of sandstone, shale, and lignite. All soils have been modified by erosion (i.e. wind, water, and ice). University of Idaho

batuan terkikis


Definition from own experience or research:
Bentang alam akibat pengikisan batuan oleh angin, air atau es (gletser)

Example sentence(s):
  • Bentangan alam akibat pengikisan. Air yang mengalir menimbulkan gesekan terhadap tanah dan batuan yang di laluinya. Gesekan akan semakin besar jika kecepatan dan jumlah air semakin besar. Kecepatan air juga akan semakin besar jika gradien (kemiringan) Lahan juga besar. Gesekan antara air dengan tanah atau batuan di dasar sungai dan gesekan antara benda benda padat yang terangkat air oleh tanah atau batuan di bawahnya dapat menyebabkan terjadinya pengikisan. Pengikisan oleh air sungai yang terjadi secara terus menerus dapat mengakibatkan terbentuk v, jurang atau ngarai, aliran deras dan air terjun. - PUSTEKKOM  
  • Proses erosi menyebabkan batuan terkikis kemudian membentuk morfologi yang tampak sekarang. - Sub Direktorat Batubara, DIM  
  • Terdapat beberapa air terjun pada objek wisata ini, di mana kebanyakan berupa air yang mengalir cukup deras di antara bebatuan cadas sungai yang membelah kawasan ini. Air terjun Sungai Gumawang bersumber dari gunung Slamet dihiasi dengan batu-batuan yang terkikis oleh air yang masih alami. - indonesia-tourism
