cuesta

/ˈkwɛstə

noun Geology

A ridge with a gentle slope (dip) on one side and a steep slope (scarp) on the other.These form light coloured, erosionally resistant cuestas including Jabal Kawr and several smaller mountains south of Al Hamra....

The Poison Strip Sandstone begins with this sandstone unit and contains other prominent cliff-forming, coarse-grained to conglomeratic sandstone units that cap many cuestas in the area.
Observation of these remnants, and early enthusiasm for erosion surfaces, probably caused many phantom surfaces to be reported, although bevelled cuestas are real.

Origin

Early 19th century (originally a US term for a steep slope at the edge of a plain): from Spanish, 'slope', from Latin costa 'rib, flank'.
