description Pembina Escarpment Overview
The Pembina Escarpment is a geological scarp that rises above the Red River Valley in northeastern North Dakota and southern Manitoba ([North Dakota Geological Survey](https://www.dmr.nd.gov/dmr/ndgs/pembina-escarpment)). The escarpment is roughly 300 to 400 feet high in the border region and exposes Cretaceous shale and carbonate rocks. Glacial erosion, sedimentation in glacial Lake Agassiz and later stream erosion helped shape its present face, which forms the western side of the Red River Valley.
