A cliff is a steep, vertical rock face or escarpment, typically formed by the erosion of rock layers over time, either through the action of water, wind, or ice.
Cliffs can be found along coastlines, riverbanks, or mountain ranges, and they vary in size, from small outcrops to towering precipices hundreds or even thousands of feet high.
They often provide stunning natural scenery and serve as habitats for various plant and animal species.
Cliffs can also pose hazards, such as rockfalls or landslides, and are sometimes used for recreational activities like rock climbing or bird watching.
