The Palisades are a line of cliffs formed from eroded volcanic rock.
The correct answer is: a line of cliffs formed from eroded volcanic rock. The Palisades refer to a geological formation along the Hudson River in the New York and New Jersey area. These cliffs were formed through the process of erosion of volcanic rock that was once part of a large lava flow from millions of years ago. The Palisades are known for their steep, columnar basalt cliffs that rise up to 500 feet above the river, creating a distinctive landscape in the region.
