a long steep slope or cliff at the edge of a plateau or ridge; usually formed by erosion
A line of cliffs produced by faulting or by erosion The term is an abbreviated form of escarpment, and the two terms commonly have the same meaning, although "scary" is more often applied to cliffs formed by faulting
A line of cliffs produced by faulting or erosion; a relatively straight, cliff-like face or slope of considerable linear extent, breaking the general continuity of the land by separating surfaces lying at different levels
and dip the two slopes of an lescarpment The scarp is usually steep, while the dip slopes gently
A roughly linear, cliff-like slope or face that breaks the continuity of a surface into distinct levels Scarps are often produced by faulting, especially that which involves a significant amount of dip slip

To cut down perpendicularly, or nearly so; as, to scarp the face of a ditch or a rock
An almost vertical slope along the beach caused by erosion by wave action It may vary in height from a few cm to several meters, depending on wave action and the nature and composition of the beach
