Canyons have been formed through long periods of time and frequent erosion from a plateau level. The steep cliffs are formed as these hard rocks are resistant to erosion or any type of weathering. Canyons are very common in arid regions compared to wet regions. Most of the canyon walls are made of granite and sandstone.
The Grand Canyon in Arizona is a typical example of a great canyon. It comes with an average depth of a mile. Yarlung Zangbo Canyon in Tibet is also another known canyon.
Gorges are mainly formed because of the flow of water or lava. Like canyons, the walls of gorges are also made of sandstone and granite. There are also gorges that have limestone structures which have formed intricate cave systems.
Kali Gandaki, Gorges of Finger Lakes, New River Gorge, Columbia River Gorge, and Canyon Lake Gorge are some of the famous gorges in the world. There are also submarine canyons which are seen most in the Congo and Amazon rivers.

(b) It is a very deep, steep and narrow valley.
(c) Canyon is formed in areas where the rainfall is scanty, i.e., in arid regions.
(d) It is useful as a tourist attraction, e.g., Grand Canyon on river Colorado is 1800 m deep.
