Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A rugged area would have steep slopes and uneven topography, making it more susceptible to slope failures such as landslides and rockfalls. Deserts typically have flat terrain and little vegetation, hills may have some slope instability but typically not to the extent of a rugged area, and the ocean floor is not subject to typical slope failure mechanisms on land.
