[請益] escarpment 在文中的意思
在一篇關於肯亞茶園的文章中
Emerald-green estates stretch as far as the eye can see,
hugging the western escarpment of the Rift Valley. Set 7000
feet above sea level, the climate is perfect for growing tea,
Kenya's biggest export, which fetched $1.4bn last year.
For Paul Chepkwony, the governor of Kericho County, these
plantations are a reminder of the way the British stiffed
his Kipsigis tribe of their land.
請問第二行中的escarpment要怎麼理解比較好呢？
(字典查到的意思有「擒縱機構（打字機上控制行距的）棘輪裝置；脫逃；逃路」)
謝謝!
