In geography and geology, a cliff is a significant vertical, or near vertical, rock exposure. Geography (from Greek γεωγραφία - geografia) is the study of the Earth and its lands features inhabitants and phenomena Geology (from Greek γη gê, "earth" and λόγος Logos, "speech" lit Cliffs are Formed as erosion landforms due to the processes of erosion and weathering that produce them. Erosion is the carrying away or displacement of solids ( Sediment, Soil, rock and other particles usually by the agents of currents such as wind Weathering is the decomposition of earth rocks, Soils and their Minerals through direct contact with the planet's Atmosphere. Cliffs are common on coasts, in mountainous areas, escarpments and along rivers. The coast is defined as the part of the land adjoining or near the Ocean. A mountain is a Landform that extends above the surrounding Terrain in a limited area with a peak In Geomorphology, an escarpment is a transition zone between different physiogeographic provinces that involves a sharp steep Elevation differential characterized "Riverine" redirects here For the use of that term in Maritime geography, see there Cliffs are usually formed by rock that is resistant to erosion and weathering. In Geology, rock is a naturally occurring aggregate of Minerals and/or Mineraloids The Earth's outer solid layer the ‘ Lithosphere Erosion is the carrying away or displacement of solids ( Sediment, Soil, rock and other particles usually by the agents of currents such as wind Weathering is the decomposition of earth rocks, Soils and their Minerals through direct contact with the planet's Atmosphere. Sedimentary rocks most likely to form sandstone, limestone, chalk, and dolomite. Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock types (the others being igneous and Metamorphic rock) Sandstone is a Sedimentary rock composed mainly of Sand -size Mineral or rock grains. Limestone is a Sedimentary rock composed largely of the Mineral Calcite ( Calcium carbonate: CaCO3 Chalk (ʧɔːk is a soft white porous Sedimentary rock, a form of Limestone composed of the Mineral Calcite. Dolomite (ˈdɒləmaɪt is the name of a Sedimentary Carbonate rock and a Mineral, both composed Igneous rocks, such as granite and basalt also often form cliffs. Igneous rocks (etymology from Latin ignis, fire are rocks formed by solidification of cooled Magma (molten rock Granite (ˈɡrænɪt is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, Felsic, igneous rock. Basalt (bəˈsɔːlt ˈbeisɔːlt ˈbæsɔːlt is a common Extrusive Volcanic rock.

An escarpment (or scarp) is a type of cliff, formed by the movement of a geologic fault, or a landslide. In Geomorphology, an escarpment is a transition zone between different physiogeographic provinces that involves a sharp steep Elevation differential characterized In Geology a fault, or fault line, is a planar rock fracture which shows evidence of relative movement A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement such as rock falls deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows which can occur

Most cliffs have some form of scree slope at their base. Scree, also called talus and detritic cone, is a term given to broken rock that appears at the bottom of Crags mountain Cliffs or 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. Soil, often typeset as SOiL, is a four piece rock band from Chicago Illinois United States founded by Shaun Glass Tom Schofield Tim King and Adam Zadel

Many cliffs also feature tributary waterfalls or rock shelters. A tributary is a Stream or River which flows into a mainstem (or parent river A waterfall is usually a geological formation resulting from water often in the form of a Stream, flowing over an Erosion -resistant rock A rock shelter is a shallow cave-like opening at the base of a bluff or Cliff. Sometimes a cliff peters out at the end of a ridge, with tea tables or other types of rock columns remaining. Geologically speaking a tea table is a rock formation that is a remnant of newer strata that have eroded away

Given that a cliff need not be exactly vertical, there can be ambiguity about whether a given slope is a cliff or not, and also about how much of a certain slope to count as a cliff. (For example, given a truly vertical rock wall above a very steep slope, one could count only the rock wall, or the combination. ) This makes listings of cliffs an inherently uncertain endeavor.

The highest cliff (rock wall, mountain face) in the world, is Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas, that rises 4600 meters above its base. Nanga Parbat ( Urdu:) is the ninth highest Mountain on Earth.

According to some sources, the highest cliff in the world, about 1,340 m high, is the east face of Great Trango in the Karakoram mountains of northern Pakistan. The Trango Towers are a group of dramatic Granite spires located on the north side of the Baltoro Glacier, in Baltistan, a district of the Northern Karakoram is a mountain range spanning the borders between Pakistan, China, and India, located in the regions of Gilgit, Ladakh, and Pakistan () officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is a country located in South Asia, Southwest Asia, Middle East and (This uses a fairly stringent notion of cliff, as the 1,340 m figure refers to a nearly vertical headwall; adding in a very steep approach brings the total height to over 1,600 m. ) The highest sea cliffs, 1,010 m high, are located at Kalaupapa, Hawaii^[1]. Kalaupapa is a small Village on the island of Moloka‘i in the state of Hawai‘i, and part of Kalawao County. (This uses a less stringent definition, as the average slope of these cliffs is about 1. 7, corresponding to an angle of 60 degrees. )

Considering a truly vertical drop, Mount Thor on Baffin Island in Arctic Canada is the highest at 1,370 m (4,500 ft) high in total (the top 480 m (1,600 ft) is overhanging). Mount Thor, officially gazetted as Thor Peak, is a Mountain in Auyuittuq National Park, on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada Baffin Island (ᕿᑭᖅᑖᓗᒃ Qikiqtaaluk, Île de Baffin Old Norse: Helluland) in the territory of Nunavut is the largest member The Arctic is the Region around the Earth 's North Pole, opposite the Antarctic region around the South Pole.

Given that walking over a cliff could be fatal, the Ordnance Survey distinguish between cliffs (continuous line along the top edge with projections down the face) and outcrops (continuos line along lower edge). Ordnance Survey (OS is an Executive agency of the United Kingdom government
