QUÉ SIGNIFICA CLIFF EN INGLÉS
Acantilado
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.
