Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A steplike feature created by fault slippage is called a fault escarpment or scarp. Delta refers to a landform created by sediment deposition at the mouth of a river. Drift refers to the movement of glacial deposits. Hogback ridge is a type of ridge formed by erosion. None of these are applicable to a fault-created step feature.
