Well, it depends on the teacher and the subject. For Example, it could be a:

Bluff

Escarpment

Mesa

I had a similar question and none of these definitions are in my book (Grade: 9th) even though there is a whole unit supposed to be filled with this. I guess it just varies. These are all from internet and landform poster pictures (also from Google images =P). Just pick one ^.^
