  • Canyons, Gorges & Valleys: Understanding Steep-Sided Features
    A deep narrow valley with steep edges is called a canyon.

    Here are some other terms that could be used, depending on the specific characteristics of the valley:

    * Gorge: Similar to a canyon, but often narrower and with steeper walls.

    * Ravine: A smaller, shallower version of a canyon or gorge.

    * Chasm: A very deep and narrow gorge, often with sheer cliffs.

    * Crevice: A narrow crack or fissure in rock, often found in canyons or gorges.

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