[2] It may have been created by a major impact that caused the moon to disrupt and reassemble,[6][7] or by the crust rifting.

[8] Given Miranda's low gravity, it would take about 12 minutes to fall from the top, reaching the bottom at a speed of about 200 km/h.

One study estimated that the "true" height of Verona Rupes is around 5 to 15 km (3 to 9 mi) when not accounting for oblique viewing caused by parallax, gradually getting more shallow towards the terminator.

[3] It may be presumed that the scarp extends beyond the terminator, into the northern hemisphere, in which the Voyager 2 probe cannot view farther than.

[9] The scarp's slope with regard to the dark limb that extends past the terminator is estimated to be around 25 to 30 degrees.
