30 mins confidence: 
edge of a plateau Explanation: A linha de ruptura de relevo é bem ilustrada no link abaixo. É o limite de um tabuleiro ou chapado, ou seja, o precipício que define sua borda. É considerada área de preservação permanente (APP) uma faixa de 100m de largura a partir desta borda. (Veja no link). Tenho 100% de certeza que é isso, mas pode existir um termo técnico em inglês melhor que o termo acima. Reference: http://www.cartilha.cienti.com.br/cartilha.php?id=4 |
