It happens when softer rock is eroded by wind and water, leaving harder rock sticking up.
Canyons, ravines, gullies and other such geological forms are common in badlands.
They are very difficult to cross by foot, or even on horse, and impossible by car.
Dry badlands may have spectacular colour displays that range from dark black/blue coal strata to bright clays and sandstone.
The term 'badlands' is apt: badlands have steep slopes, loose dry soil, slick clay, and deep sand, all of which act against travel and other uses.
They form in dry regions with infrequent but intense rain-showers, little vegetation, and soft sediments which get massive erosion.
Coal seams get exposed in some badlands, so some coal mining districts have developed in badlands areas.
An example of this is the Drumheller district of the Red Deer River in Alberta, where the Atlas Coal Mine historical site shows the last of 139 mines which operated in the badlands.
Some of the best-known badland formations can be found in North America.
In the U.S., the Alleghenies have parts which are true badlands.
There it is possible to move in one compass direction, but not at 90o to that direction.
Makoshika State Park in Montana, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota and Badlands National Park in South Dakota together form a series of extensive badland formations.
The Big Muddy Badlands in Saskatchewan, Canada, gained notoriety as a hideout for outlaws.
There is a large badland area in Alberta, Canada, particularly in the valley of the Red Deer River (where Dinosaur Provincial Park is) and in Drumheller, Alberta where the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology is.
A well-known badlands formation in New Zealand is the Putangirua Pinnacles – formed by the erosion of the conglomerate of an old river delta.
It is at the head of a small valley near the southern tip of the North Island.

The Geddes Plan for Tel Aviv was the first master city plan for Tel Aviv.
It was designed in 1925-1929 by the Scottish city planner Sir Patrick Geddes.
This program designed the center of Tel Aviv and the area now known as "Old North".
In 1925 Patrick Geddes was commissioned to design a master plan for the city of Tel Aviv.
The plan he produced was accepted in 1929.
Tel Aviv turned out to be the only example of one of Geddes’ plans being built largely as he envisaged and is a good example of an early planned city.
The area of Tel Aviv originally planned by Geddes makes up approximately 7.5% of the current day municipality of Tel Aviv and is now known as Tel Aviv’s “Old North”.
It was designed to be an extension of the much older neighboring Arabic port town Jaffa to the south and a home for the increasing population of Jews emigrating from other parts of the world (predominantly Eastern Europe).
Features and principles of Geddes Plan
Geddes, originally a biologist and sociologist were engaged to design a plan for the new city of Tel Aviv to be built adjacent to the ancient port town of Jaffa.
