Escarpment
The steep cliff between the higher and lower escarpment land.
A steep cliff between higher and lower land is often referred to as a "bluff" or "precipice." These geological formations are typically characterized by their vertical or near-vertical faces, which can result from erosion, geological uplift, or the effects of weathering. Cliffs can be found in various landscapes, including coastal areas, mountains, and river valleys, and they often provide dramatic views and unique ecosystems.

Viewed from the top it is a precipice. Nut I don't think this word is ever used when viewing from the bottom of the cliff - as there is always a connotation of 'falling' involved with the use of the word.Another word could be "scarp"
A steep cliff or slope that separates plateaus is known as a escarpment. Escarpments can form due to geological processes such as faulting, erosion, or tectonic activity, creating a dramatic change in elevation between two plateaus.
By definition, a narrow chasm with steep cliff walls is a canyon. Exceptionally narrow canyons are called "slot canyons".
