A geological landform, a scarp is a vertical relocation of the ground along either side of a fault, usually after an earthquake, one side being left higher than the other. It often marks the surface extension of an existing fault below. Scarps can be small or large, in some cases creating steep cliffs which may later erode.
A line of cliffs formed by displacement along a fault is known as a fault scarp.
A crustal block that is downthrown with a steep fault scarp is typically referred to as a fault block. This geological feature is formed when a section of crust is displaced downward along a fault line, resulting in a steep, often visible, boundary. Fault blocks are common in areas with active tectonic activity.
A row of cliffs formed by faulting is known as a fault scarp. Fault scarps occur when there is vertical displacement along a fault line, resulting in one side of the fault being uplifted and forming a steep cliff-like feature.
A reverse fault can create a landform known as a fault scarp, which is a steep slope or cliff that forms when one block of rock is thrust up and over another along the fault line. This can result in noticeable elevation changes in the landscape.
Scarps are vertical displacements of the ground surface along a fault, which may be represented by small rises or by steep cliffs. A fault scarp with relatively level land on each side is also called an escarpment.

"A fault line and fault are the same cause the fault line has the same traces for a fault :}} have fun" That is incorrect. A fault is displaced ground, where the footwall (or hanging wall in the case of reverse faults) has been upthrust and an area of strata is exposed that was previously below the surface. A fault-line scarp is an erosional feature, often resultant from reverse faults, because their scarps are gravitationally unstable and are almost always associated with inactive and old faults. Differential erosion can work away at less resistant beds while leaving behind a scarp of more resistant beds.

A scarp is a very steep hill or bank. It can also mean to form a hill or bank so that it becomes steep.
