Guadies: valleys where water for desert (when it rains)



Mountain island: steep hill slopes and rounded top, usually granite or gneiss, which appears isolated or forming a group that rises above the general level of motion.



Yardans: structures in the desert resistant to erosion



Barjanes: dunes crescent



Mushroom rocks: are formed by erosion caused by wind and sand.
