Science - Geography | | French term or phrase: plateau monotone | From a presentation of Niger's geography...
Le Niger se présente comme un plateau monotone qui s'élève lentement d'une altitude de 200 à 300 m dans les basses terres du Sahara nigérien à l'Ouest, de la vallée du fleuve Niger au Sud Ouest, des plateaux du Sud et au Sud Est du bassin du Tchad, jusqu'à environ 1000 m dans sa partie Nord Est aux confins Tchado - Libyens.
Sa monotonie n'est coupée que par des cuestas et des falaises gréseuses, plus importantes dans la partie Nord Est et surtout par le massif montagneux de l'Aïr au Nord d'Agadez, qui culmine à 2020 mètres.

| | | monotonous plateau | Explanation:
if you dislike "monotonous", you could use something like "unrelenting", but, since the text goes on to talk about monotony, then I don't see that you have much choice.
What exactly is the problem with a literal translation? |
