Close to Ottawa is a beautiful example of an escarpment, a transition of one series of sedimentary rocks to another series of different ages and compositions. Think of a sedimentary bed that is first tilted and then eroded on the surface. The different sedimentary rocks weather at different speeds. Escarpments can also form by moving the earth's crust at a geologic vault. Actually, it doesn't have to be the earth's crust, you can find them also on Mars or the moon, but then we call them rupes.
Thanks for this! Love geography/geology. Fascinating stuff. And that looks like a stunning walk. With that foilage as well. Amazing. Great pictures. And that climb does look pretty steep. I would have done it the same way though. Easier to walk up the very steep parts.
I just can't get over the view from up there. Wow! Thank you for sharing. Helps with not being able to do much myself at the moment.
Beautiful and interesting details. Thank you.
