The word “canyon” is widely used in the United States, and the term “gorge”is widely used in Europe. Anyways, the dictionary says that a canyon is a deepvalley having steep sides, and a gorge is a deep ravine with a river flowing through it or a ravine without the river.

a canyon is a deep valley having steep sides, and a gorge is a deep ravine with a river flowing through it or a ravine without the river. This means that a canyon is a valley with steep sides, and a gorge is a ravine with a river.

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.
