/ˈaʊt.krɑp/

Examples

Thus, among comparatively undisturbed strata, a hard bed resting upon others of a softer kind is apt to form along its outcrop a line of cliff or escarpment.

Ainsi, parmi des couches relativement peu perturbées, un banc dur reposant sur d’autres plus tendres tend à former le long de son affleurement une ligne de falaise ou d’escarpement.
