Talus
AnswerEscarpment. Also can be called a "Precipice."
The material making up a scree slope is called "scree" or "talus." It consists of loose rock fragments that have fallen from a cliff or steep slope, typically due to weathering and erosion processes. These angular pieces of rock accumulate at the base of the slope, forming a steeply angled deposit. Scree slopes are often unstable and can shift or move due to gravity and other environmental factors.
The general term for material that falls down and gathers at the foot of a steep cliff or mountain face is scree.
Rock that piles up at the foot of a cliff is a formed regolith slope.
Rock that forms at the foot of a cliff forms regolith slope.

It is called a rockfall. Rockfalls can occur due to weathering, erosion, or seismic activity, leading to rocks breaking loose and falling down a slope or cliff.
The movement of material down slope along a curved surface is called creep. It is a slow, continuous process of particle-by-particle movement typically caused by gravity and can occur on various slope angles.

detrital slope
The river cliff is the outside of a meander in a river. This is due to erosion from fast flowing water. Deposition occurs on the inside and the inside bend is called the SLIP-OFF SLOPE
At the base of a cliff after erosion, there may be a mixture of rock debris, sand, and other sediment. These eroded materials can collect at the base due to the action of waves, rain, and gravity, forming a talus slope or a wave-cut platform depending on the coastal processes at work.
