Answers
Answer:
A ravine is a landform that is narrower than a canyon and is often the product of streambank erosion.[1] Ravines are typically classified as larger in scale than gullies, although smaller than valleys.[1]
Definition
A ravine is generally a fluvial slope landform of relatively steep (cross-sectional) sides, on the order of twenty to seventy percent in gradient. Ravines may or may not have active streams flowing along the downslope channel which originally formed them; moreover, often they are characterized by intermittent streams, since their geographic scale may not be sufficiently large to support a perennial watercourse.[2]
Other terms for ravine include:
cleuch
dell
ghout (Nevis)
gill or ghyll
glen
gorge
kloof (South Africa)
chine (Isle of Wight)
