A peneplain is defined as a more or less level land surface produced by erosion over a long period, undisturbed by crustal movement. They are formed as a result of extensive fluvial erosion following extended relative tectonic stability.
Flat areas on continents that have been eroded are known as peneplains. These are vast regions of low relief that form due to extensive erosion over millions of years. Peneplains often develop in regions with relatively uniform geological characteristics and are commonly found in old mountain ranges or shield areas.
Yes, low rolling hills can be considered an example of a peneplain, which is a landform that has been eroded to a nearly flat surface but still retains some subtle topographic features. Peneplains are typically the result of prolonged erosion and weathering, leading to a landscape that is relatively smooth and gentle in relief. While peneplains are often associated with extensive geological timeframes, low rolling hills can represent the remnants of such processes.
