fuertemente disectado
Dandole continuidad a la traducción del documento sobre aspectos geográficos de una provincia, les comparto un extracto del documento:
Suelos de conservación
Son suelos muy superficiales con texturas moderadamente finas, a profundos con texturas finas en todo el perfil del suelo; bien drenados con moderada cantidad de gravas y piedras sobre la superficie y/o en el perfil del suelo; fuertemente erosionados; en terrenos con rango >56% de pendiente, en relieve fuertemente es-carpado y/o ***fuertemente disectado**.
My try:
Conservation lands
These are very superficial soils with texture from moderately fine to deep [soils with] fine [texture] throughout the whole profile of the soil. They are well drained with a moderate amount of gravel and stones over the surface and/or on the soil profile; very eroded in terrains with a slope higher than 75%. They feature very steep reliefs and/or ...

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: "Dissected" in geology refers to a landscape separated by crevices.

I think I need glasses.
They feature a very (an extremely) steep and highly dissected relief.
