What does HAMADA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A high, barren desert plateau made of bare rock, with most of the loose sand blown away.
A hamada forms where wind has carried off the fine sand and dust and left a hard rocky surface behind. The word comes from Arabic and is used in geography for such plateaus in the Sahara and other dry regions. Travellers find a hamada harder to cross than a sandy desert in some ways, because the ground is flat, stony and almost without shade or water.
