   Jan 21,  · An escarpment is an area of the Earth where elevation changes suddenly. Escarpment usually refers to the bottom of a cliff or a steep slope. (Scarp refers to the cliff itself.) Escarpments separate two level land surfaces.

   A steep slope or long cliff formed by erosion or by vertical movement of the Earth's crust along a fault. Escarpments separate two relatively level areas of land. The term is often used interchangeably with scarp but is more accurately associated with cliffs produced by erosional processes rather than those produced by faulting.

   A long cliff or steep slope forming the edge of an elevated portion of land is called an escarpment. How are Escarpments Formed? Faults can occur between two areas of land, as a result of geological forces that may raise one area above the other. At the fault line, the raise portion of land may form a cliff or other steep formation along its edge.

   The escarpment is the eroded headland of a hard, Silurian-aged dolomite; as such the rock has stood up to the forces of weathering and glaciation better than nearby shales. The ridge crosses the U.S.-Canadian boundary at Niagara Falls and terminates just east of Rochester, N.Y.
