    This document discusses badlands landscapes in Brazil. It focuses on locations in the southwest of Piauí state, covering six municipalities. The landscapes are characterized by sedimentary rocks from the Cretaceous period, clay-rich soils, plateaus with steep edges, and dissected ramps and hills. Vegetation includes savanna and cacti. The climate is sub-humid tropical with annual rainfall averaging 1,175mm but varying significantly year-to-year. The document explores the geomorphological origins and evolution of the badlands landscapes through lithology, climate, erosion, and topography.
