2. Concept of scarp retreat or back wasting
A scarp is the cliff – like face or slope between the high area and the low flat
land.
Back wasting or scarp retreat refers to the change in position of the scarp as a
result of erosion.
This means that the cliff erodes backwards
If the scarp is capped by a layer of hard resistant rock, the scarp will maintain its
form (shape) as it retreats.
Scarp retreat takes place along the edges of plateaus(escarpments),mesas and
buttes.
