Badlands – a fascinating landscape formed by multi-processes

by Furkan Karabacak, Türkiye

The Nallihan badlands area is a landscape that makes you feel like you are on another planet. It is located in an extremely arid area in the interior of the Anatolian Orogenic Plateau, Türkiye. The badlands is composed of a Paleocene-aged conglomerate, marl, clay and sandstone terrestrial series, and its morphology is characterised by steep slopes, a thin regolith layer, and high drainage density. With its fascinating forms caused by differential erosion and colors reflecting various paleo-environmental conditions, this area is also a favorite spot for geomorphology enthusiasts.
