CO OZNACZA SŁOWO ESCARPMENT
Skarpa
Stok jest stromym zboczem lub długim urwiskiem, który powstaje na skutek winy i wynikającej z niego erozji i oddziela dwa stosunkowo wysokie poziomy o różnej wysokości. Zwykle skarpa jest stosowana zamiennie z skarpem. Ale niektóre źródła różnicują te dwa terminy, gdzie skarpa odnosi się do marginesu między dwoma formami lądowymi, podczas gdy skarpa jest synonimem urwiska lub stromego zbocza. Powierzchnia stromego zbocza nazywana jest szczelinową twarzą.
