Summary

Description	English: Layers with some showing an overhang. Layers exposed on the sides of hills are visible as terraced steps. The formation of these steps is a result in differences between layers in cohesion and resistance to weathering. Weaker layers disaggregate quickly into shallow slopes, while stronger layers maintain steep “sharp” appearing edges. Such contrast can occur, for example, between alternating strong lava flows and weak volcanic ash deposits.
