How to use "Escarpment" in context?
An escarpment is a steep slope of terrain that forms as a result of a mountainous or other structural form's blocking one or more axes of drainage from the surface. A prominence, also known as a hill outcrop, is a similar, but less steep, slope of land. A scar, or landslip, is a long, linear depression on land caused by the movement of a huge mass, often an avalanche.
