Asymmetric land-form consisting of a steep scarp slope, and a more gentle dip (or back) slope. It is typical of areas underlain by strata of varying resistance that are dipping gently in one direction, and is intermediate between the flat-topped mesa and butte, and the more symmetric ridge form of the hog’s back.
Cuesta
A ridge with a dip slope and a scarp slope. See escarpment. For cuesta topography, see Pánek et al. (2008) Geomorph. 95, 3–4.
