Explanation:
A gorge is a steep-sided, narrow valley with a river or stream running along the bottom. Gorges are formed by the interplay of several geological processes, including erosion, tectonic processes such as vertical uplift and cavern collapse. Erosion by the resident body of water is usually the primary contributor to gorge formation.

Answer:
As explained below.
Explanation:
- A gorge is a narrow valley with a steep and rocky wall, located within the hills and mountains. Over time this erosion forms steep walls of a gorge and the streams or the other increases their speeds, intensity and thus creates a wider and deeper gorge. An example is the Marble rocks near the Jabalpur.
- As most gorges are located between the mountains, hills and near-desert plateaus. Georges forms due to the water erosion and the weathering and the geologic upliftment and the melting of glaciers.
