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

ऊबड़-खाबड़, उत्खात, अनुर्वर, ऊसर, बरानी या बंजर भूमि

Definition from own experience or research:
खड़े किनारों की भूलभुलैया से बनी भू-आकृति जिन्हें पार कर पाना कठिन होता है तथा जिसमें कृषि के लिए बहुत अधिक तीव्र ढाल वाले भाग होते हैं। इन क्षेत्रों के अधःस्तर में प्रायः मृतिका और शैल के स्तर पाए जाते हैं जो धरातलीय नदियों और नालों द्वारा अत्यधिक विदरित होती हैं। ऊबड़-खाबड़ या उत्खात भूमि का शैल अभेद्यता, विरल वनस्पति आवरण और अल्पकालीन किंतु भारी वर्षा से जल बहाव के संयुक्त कारणों से विकास होता है।

Example sentence(s):

इन सब कामों के लिए एक सर्वे करवाया गया था जिसमें जिले के ऐसे गांव जहां पर बरानी जमीन (ऊबड़ खाबड़, कृषि के लिए अनुपयुक्त भूमि) अधिक है, उन्हें चुना गया था। - indiawaterportal

Explanation:
badlands अर्थात कृषि के लिए अनुपयुक्त भूमि के लिए हिंदी में ऊबड़-खाबड़, उत्खात, अनुर्वर, ऊसर, बरानी या बंजर भूमि आदि कई नाम हैं.
