The chosen fields had wavy meso-relief. The chosen fields had wavy meso-relief with relative height differences up to 20 m.

(= relieve de mesa, de meseta) plateau relief, tableland relief Explanation: "meso" may come from "mesa/meseta" meaning plateau or tableland. This by definition is flat, but "relieve" implies different heights of land. I think the land is a plateau but the differences in height come from the action of the flowing water, as your context mentions "canales y meandros". Reference: However as the fluvial channels incise the plateau, relief increases, and the topography develops a characteristic form in which transverse rivers, pinned at a base level at the model boundaries, incise the uplift from all directions leaving a prominent ridge and water divide defining the crest of the range. http://earth.geology.yale.edu/~ajs/2001/Apr_May/qn10t100455.... |
