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

rđave zemlje
Definition:
Rđava zemlja ili bedlend (eng. badland) predstavlja tip značajno erodovanog terena, kod koga je tlo bogato glinovitom komponentom a koji je značajno zahvaćen pojavom intenzivnog jaružanja. Agensi geomorfološkog procesa usled koga nastaje su voda i vetar. Ovakvi tereni su često teško prohodni i nisu pogodni za izgradnju.

Jedan od oblika koji se javljaju su zemljane piramide kojih ima i u Srbiji na lokalnosti Đavolja varoš kod Kuršumlije.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ерозија пролувијалног процеса започиње стварањем јаруга, које се све више продубљују, када настају рђаве земље (у геологији познате и по енглеском називу бад ландс). Како се ерозија наставља, јаруге постају све шире, па коначно између њих остају стеновите пирамиде, као што је то случај код фигура Ђавоље вароши. - Vikivesti  
  • Rđave zemlje ili bedlends (na engleskom „bad lands“) predstavljaju pojavu intenzivnog jaružanja na većem prostoru. Inicijalni reljef padine je sveden samo na oštre grebene između susednih jaruga. Takav teren je neupotrebljiv za bilo kakvu ljudsku delatnost, pa otuda i naziv. Strana 59 - Geomorfološki procesi  
  • Odakle naziv: „Badlands“? Pleme Sijuksa nazivalo je badlandse Severne Dakote „maco sica“ („lands bad“), što su rani francuski istraživači prevodili kao „mauvais terres a traverser“, što opet, bukvalno prevedeno na engleski jezik znači «bad lands hard to cross“. U knjigama i udžbenicima na našem jeziku, badlands se često prevodi kao «rđave zemlje». - B92 - život - nauka - badlands
