  • Canyon Definition: What's the Difference Between a Canyon, Gorge, and Ravine?
    A deep valley carved by a river is called a canyon.

    Here are some other terms you might see used:

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

    * Ravine: A smaller, less deep valley carved by a stream or small river.

    * Valley: A general term for any low-lying area between hills or mountains, but it doesn't necessarily imply that it was carved by a river.
