Truncated upland

A truncated upland, truncated highland or bevelled upland is the heavily eroded remains of a fold mountain range, often from an early period in earth history. The term Rumpfgebirge was first introduced into the literature in 1886 by Ferdinand von Richthofen. The rumps of the former mountain ranges may be found in many lowland regions of the Earth's crust and especially outcrop in Central Europe through more recent tectonics. This could result in an uplifted peneplain which is one type of truncated upland.
