From the Desert

...The ground covered with gravel is the result of deflation blowing away sand and dust, leaving behind gravel and boulders, and is called desert pavement, or Gibber Plain in Australia. Desert pavement, where small gravel is piled on top of the soil, is called reg in the western Sahara and serir in the eastern Sahara. For this reason, the words reg and hamada are often used as synonyms for gravel desert.
