QUÉ SIGNIFICA CLIFF EN INGLÉS

Acantilado

Cliff

En la geografía y la geología, un acantilado es vertical, o vertical casi, exposición de la roca. Los acantilados se forman como formaciones de erosión debido a los procesos de erosión y meteorización que los producen. Los acantilados son comunes en costas, en áreas montañosas, escarpes ya lo largo de ríos. Los acantilados suelen estar formados por rocas resistentes a la erosión y al desgaste. Las rocas sedimentarias más propensas a formar acantilados incluyen arenisca, piedra caliza, tiza y dolomita. Las rocas ígneas tales como el granito y el basalto también forman a menudo acantilados. Una escarpa es un tipo de acantilado, formado por el movimiento de una falla geológica, o un deslizamiento de tierra. La mayoría de los acantilados tienen alguna forma de pendiente de acacia en su base. En áreas áridas o bajo altos acantilados, estos son generalmente desordenados de rocas caídas. En áreas de mayor humedad, una pendiente del suelo puede oscurecer el astrágalo. Muchos acantilados también cuentan con cascadas tributarias o refugios rocosos. A veces un acantilado peters en el extremo de una cresta, con mesas de té u otros tipos de columnas de roca restantes. La erosión costera puede conducir a la formación de acantilados a lo largo de una línea de costa que retrocede. El Encuesta de Artillería distingue entre acantilados y afloramientos.

In geography and geology, a cliff is a vertical, or near vertical, rock exposure. Cliffs are formed as erosion landforms due to the processes of erosion and weathering that produce them. Cliffs are common on coasts, in mountainous areas, escarpments and along rivers. Cliffs are usually formed by rock that is resistant to erosion and weathering. Sedimentary rocks most likely to form cliffs include sandstone, limestone, chalk, and dolomite. Igneous rocks such as granite and basalt also often form cliffs. An escarpment is a type of cliff, formed by the movement of a geologic fault, or a landslide. Most cliffs have some form of scree slope at their base. In arid areas or under high cliffs, these are generally exposed jumbles of fallen rock. In areas of higher moisture, a soil slope may obscure the talus. Many cliffs also feature tributary waterfalls or rock shelters. Sometimes a cliff peters out at the end of a ridge, with tea tables or other types of rock columns remaining. Coastal erosion may lead to the formation of sea cliffs along a receding coastline. The Ordnance Survey distinguishes between cliffs and outcrops.
