Explanation

Pediplains (broad, gently sloping erosional surfaces) and inselbergs (isolated resistant rock hills standing above the pediplain) are characteristic landforms of the arid cycle of erosion. They result from prolonged weathering and sheet erosion in arid and semi-arid environments where chemical weathering and mechanical processes work together over long periods.
