A high, steep wall of rock is called a "cliff." Cliffs are vertical or near-vertical rock exposures that can be found along Coastlines, mountainsides, or canyons. They are formed through various geological processes such as erosion, faulting, or volcanic activity. Cliffs can vary in height and are often popular for rock climbing and sightseeing due to their dramatic and picturesque appearance.
