sivujyrkänteitä
Sivujyrkänteitä, meaning "side cliffs" or "lateral precipices" in Finnish, refers to steep rock faces or slopes that form along the sides of geological features such as valleys, ravines, or mountains. These formations are often the result of erosional processes, such as glacial carving, river undercutting, or tectonic activity, which have exposed or created vertical or near-vertical rock walls.
The characteristics of sivujyrkänteitä can vary widely depending on the underlying rock type, the erosional forces
Sivujyrkänteitä are significant from an ecological perspective, often providing unique habitats for specialized flora and fauna
