tierras plegadas Explanation: In geology, 'rucked' is synonymous with 'folded'. (And in everyday English we might say 'there's a ruck in the carpet', meaning a section has lifted off the floor creating a wave-like surface.) Compare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(geology) and https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plegamiento |

| Reference: Refs. Reference information: Highly unusual term "rucked". https://findwords.info/term/rucked What is "rucked" The Collaborative International Dictionary Rucked Ruck Ruck, v. t. & i. [imp. & p. p. Rucked; p. pr. & vb. n. Rucking.] [Icel hrukkast to wrinkle, hrukka wrinkle, fold.] To draw into wrinkles or unsightly folds; to crease; as, to ruck up a carpet. https://books.google.com.jm/books?id=wL34DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA71&lp... See end of page 71. The word ruck > for wrinkle (e.g. ridge and valley appearance). Maybe? "Escarpado" meaning craggy. https://www.wordmagicsoft.com/dictionary/es-en/terreno escar... However, I think your original idea is the right one. |
