erosive (relief) Explanation: From link below: In the mountains erosive relief predominates. It has a big depth of breaking and steepness of the slopes. In the upper parts of the mountains the Alpine glacial relief spreads. Central Asian countries are situated in the depth of the continent at the distance of 3000-4000 km. from the ocean, the main supplier of moisture at relatively low latitudes. The climate is sharply continental and the quantity of the radiation balance is relatively high Reference: http://www.grida.no/aral/aralsea/english/general/territ.htm |

strip ( caused by natural or man-induced erosion,,,,) Explanation: Diría: ... a flat terrain showing the effects of accumulative stripping (or the build-up effects of stripping)(this can be caused by farming, mining, construction, oil drilling, natural erosion and other factors ...) I think you will have to interpret this sentence in the context of the full translation text as a literal translation of these words will not be understandable in English (IMHO). At any rate I think it is referring to erosion or man-made erosion of the terrain. I found several interesting, relative links (in Spanish): http://www.ingemmet.gob.pe/publicaciones/publicaciones/bolet... http://www.brocku.ca/epi/lebk/borja.html In English: http://www.fao.org/docrep/T1765E/t1765e0c.htm http://www.fao.org/docrep/T1765E/t1765e0t.htm http://wi.water.usgs.gov/pubs/fs-109-00/ |

denuded Explanation: Hola Karem: The verb is DENUDE and the adjective is "denuded". It means "bare" So: "...with an acumulative DENUDED relief" That would be my option!
