  • Canyon, Gorge, Ravine & Chasm: Understanding Valley Terminology
    A narrow deep valley with steep sides is called a canyon.

    Here are some other terms that might describe a similar feature:

    * Gorge: Similar to a canyon, but often smaller and with a narrower opening.

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

    * Chasm: A very deep, narrow, and steep-sided gap, often formed by a fault line.

    The specific term used depends on the size, depth, and formation of the valley.
