  • Canyon, Gorge, Ravine & Chasm: Understanding Steep-Sided Valleys
    A deep narrow valley with high steep slopes is called a canyon.

    Here are some other terms that might describe such a valley:

    * Gorge: Similar to a canyon, but often smaller and with a river flowing through it.

    * Ravine: A smaller version of a canyon, often formed by a stream or river.

    * Chasm: A deep, narrow gap or fissure in the earth.

    * Crevice: A narrow crack or fissure in a rock face.

    The specific term used will depend on the size, shape, and geological features of the valley.
