eroded land
Worn-away ground
Land that has been worn away by natural forces—water, wind, or ice—stripping away topsoil and reshaping terrain.
Eroded land often shows visible damage: gullies, bare patches, exposed rock.
The term appears in environmental and agricultural contexts where soil loss threatens productivity: The eroded land could no longer support crops.
Erosion may be accelerated by deforestation, overgrazing, or poor farming practices.
