Stefano Asperti: 10:08am Oct 11, 2005: Scusa "continental shelf". Ho cancellato inavvertitamente una parte. -
Patricia Crotty: 11:45am Oct 12, 2005: Sorry, coming in late here. A continental rise is a gently sloping rise of sediments at the base of the continental slope, found deep under the sea. It is not the right translation here. A better solution is plateau of basement/raised basement rock -

sfacettato = of varied aspect (De Mauro Diz)
zoccolo = geological basement (rock)

I've done some research and have a new suggestion
*Plateau consisting of bedrock with multiple facies*
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&oi=defmore&defl=en&q=...
this is a very technical interpretation of *sfaccettato*
but I'm not really sure it applies here (no useful googles for altopiano + sfaccettato/a/i/e)
other possibilities for *sfaccettato* (with _very_ different meanings):
dissected
fragmented
broken
