cliff formations

Cliffs are steep rock faces or escarpments formed mainly through processes like erosion, weathering, and geological activity. Over time, softer rocks wear away faster than harder ones due to wind, water, and ice, creating sharp, vertical walls. Tectonic movements can also uplift sections of land, exposing bedrock. The combination of these natural forces gradually shapes cliffs, which often mark the edges of coastlines, valleys, or mountain ranges. Their formation reflects the underlying geology and the ongoing dynamic processes shaping the earth's surface over thousands or millions of years.
