Valley
From Fiswiki
(Redirected from Gorge)
In geology, a valley or dale is a depression with predominant extent in one direction.
A very deep river valley may be called a canyon or gorge.
The terms U-shaped and V-shaped are descriptive terms of geography to characterize the form of valleys.
Most valleys belong to one of these two main types or a mixture of them, at least with respect of the cross section of the slopes or hillsides.
