terraced hills
Staircase-like farmland ridges
Terraced hills are slopes carved into a series of flat, step-like levels, typically for agriculture.
The practice transforms steep terrain into usable farmland, allowing cultivation of crops like rice, grapes, or grain while preventing erosion: The terraced hills of Bali have been farmed for centuries.
The effect resembles a giant staircase cut into the landscape.
