👉 Precipitous is a term that refers to something that is very high or very low in elevation. It can also refer to an object that is moving quickly due to gravity, such as a river or stream.
In physics and engineering terms, precipitous objects are often used to describe structures or objects that have a significant elevation difference between the lowest point and the highest point. This type of structure may be designed for water flow, such as in drainage systems or irrigation channels.
