Answer:
For example, an escarpment could be the area separating the lower parts of the coast from higher plateaus. ... Escarpments are formed by one of two processes: erosion and faulting.

The difference between a mountain range and an escarpment is;
Mountain range
- A series of mountains lying in a line and linked by a high ground is referred to as a mountain range.
- This is formed through various geological processes like plate tectonics, etc.
- They are separated by valleys, mountain passes, highlands, etc.
- Erosion results in the reduction of mountain ranges to cliffs and hills.
Escarpment
- A cliff or a slope that is extremely long or steep is referred to as an escarpment.
- This is formed as a result of erosion or faulting.
- They separate leveled areas with differences in elevation.
- Erosion results in the deformation of these structures.
