A Cliff<\/strong> it's a Geographic accident<\/strong> which takes the form of a steep slope. In this sense, it can appear along the coasts, in mountains or on the banks of rivers, for example. A cliff coast<\/strong> is the one that is cut vertically, while the sea \u200b\u200bcliff bottom<\/strong> It is the one that forms steps or slopes.<\/p>\n

\"Cliff\"Cliffs are generally made up of rocks that are resistant to erosion and atmospheric action, such as limonite<\/strong>, the sandstone<\/strong>, the dolomite<\/strong> and the limestone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A escarpment<\/strong> or escarpment<\/strong> It is a rocky slope that cuts the ground abruptly. It is a particular type of cliff, which is formed by a landslide or by the movement of a tectonic fault.<\/p>\n

There are cliffs that have waterfalls and caves at the base. Others, on the other hand, end at the end of a ridge. On the other hand, the coastal cliffs of tabular shape with large dimensions are called cliff<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the cliffs are used for the practice of sports<\/strong> risky<\/strong>. In the case of the coastal ones, swimmers jump from there to dive. The cliffs in mountains allow parachute jumps or paragliding.<\/p>\n

But they are not the only sports that can be practiced in them. It is also frequent that many passionate about outdoor and adventure activities turn to those to practice, for example, climbing. Specifically, there are various types of this discipline, and among all of them the one known as psychobloc stands out.<\/p>\n

This modality is typical of the cliffs and consists of the person in question, who must be very expert in the matter, carry it out without using ropes or insurance. Of course, it takes place in places of this type where the climber, in the event of a fall, does not run the risk of collapsing or hitting rock ledges but will do so directly on the sea.<\/p>\n

On the island of Tenerife there is a place where residents and visitors practice all these types of sports activities. We are referring to the famous Los Gigantes Cliffs, which are located between the towns of Santiago del Teide and Buenavista del Norte.<\/p>\n

The Guanches, former Berber inhabitants of said island, called those Walls of Hell and they are characterized by the fact that they are a volcanic geological accident that has large vertical walls, specifically they are between 300 and 600 meters above sea level.<\/p>\n

Tourists who come to this natural corner not only enjoy observing these cliffs but also practicing all kinds of activities in their surroundings, such as scuba diving, since the area has a spectacular seabed. <\/p>\n

The largest cliff in the world is located in the karakorum mountain range<\/strong>, on Pakistan<\/strong>. It is the eastern wall of the Trango Towers<\/strong> and has a height of 1,340 meters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the largest coastal cliff is located in Kaulapapa<\/strong>, on Hawaii<\/strong>. His height is 1,010 meters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
