Steep slope or rock face often formed by erosion (10)

I believe the answer is:

escarpment

(Other definitions for escarpment that I've seen before include "Long edge of plateau" , "Long steep slope at a plateau's edge" , "Steep slope - map's centre (anag)" , "Steep slope at edge of plateau" , "cliff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
