As described above its south-eastern margin is the most clearly defined, as it is formed by a conspicuous scarp slope, about 100 metres higher than the valley floor, upon which Belvoir Castle sits.

It is most apparent as a fault scarp around Williamstown and Kersbrook.

The dark green is dense vegetation on and above the scarp, which has been retained for forest reserve and water catchment purposes.

The sharp vegetation boundary on the coastal side coincides with the edge of the scarp.

Maps from the 1830s show the scarp labelled " General Darlings Range "; this later became Darling Range, a name by which the formation was still commonly known in the late 20th century, despite common understanding of it being an escarpment.

The location of the scarp must once have coincided with the location of the fault, but the scarp has since eroded about 15 kilometres eastwards.

The original location of the scarp is indicated in places by an unusual landform known as the Ridge Hill Shelf.

Some dams along the scarp are contaminated by seepage of saline water from the granite into the base of the dam's water column and must be periodically flushed to preserve water quality.

Legislative restrictions upon such developments were initiated in the late twentieth century to prevent further visible scars on the western face of the scarp.

The building and developing of rail access across the scarp developed three separate main routes over eighty years.

As the Cretaceous chalk layer in southern England is typically tilted, chalk downland formations often have a marked scarp slope on one side, which is very steep, and a dip slope on the other, which is much shallower.

This is demonstrated very clearly beneath the scarp of the White Horse Hills, above the Vale of White Horse.

But some sources differentiate the two terms, where escarpment refers to the margin between two landforms, while scarp is synonymous with a cliff or steep slope.

The most common way to formalize this is by defining a field as a set together with two operations, usually called addition and multiplication, and denoted by + and ·, respectively, such that the following axioms hold ; subtraction and division are defined implicitly in terms of the inverse operations of addition and multiplication :< ref group =" note "> That is, the axiom for addition only assumes a binary operation The axiom of inverse allows one to define a unary operation that sends an element to its negative ( its additive inverse ); this is not taken as given, but is implicitly defined in terms of addition as " is the unique b such that ", " implicitly " because it is defined in terms of solving an equation — and one then defines the binary operation of subtraction, also denoted by "−", as in terms of addition and additive inverse.
