monte/colinas con bancales


Explanation:
Sobre todo si son de cultivos, estas "terrazas" se suelen llamar así en Esp. Me sorprendió ver el posible orígen de la palabra en el DRAE: bancal.

(Quizá del ár. hisp. manqála).


1. m. En las sierras y terrenos pendientes, rellano de tierra que natural o artificialmente se forma, y que se aprovecha para algún cultivo.

Claro, los árabes sabían sobre el uso del terreno!

Aquí tampoco se usa demasiado la palabra colina, sino monte, para designar terreno de campo, cultivado o no, no llano.
