Detailed explanation-1: -Cliffs and Plateaus and Plains Cliffs are steep slopes and have contour lines that are very closely spaced. Plateaus, or flat areas, have contour lines which are very far apart from each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this usage an escarpment is a ridge which has a gentle slope on one side and a steep scarp on the other side.
Detailed explanation-3: -Scree builds up at the bottom of many inland cliffs as rocks tumble down. These piles are called scree slopes or talus piles. Some scree slopes can be so large that soil and sediment can build up between the rocks, allowing trees and other vegetation to grow on the slope.
