Wastelands are areas of land that have been degraded or abandoned due to human activities. The term can refer to a variety of landscapes, including WILDS, MOORS, and HEATHS. WILDS are areas of uncultivated land, often with dense vegetation, while MOORS are open, uncultivated tracts of land, usually covered in heather and other shrubs. HEATHS are similar to MOORS, but are typically more dry and barren. All three of these landscapes can be considered wastelands, as they are all areas of land that have been neglected or abandoned.
