A gorge, also known as a canyon, is a deep channel formed over millions of years by river erosion and other forms of weathering. The word “gorge” comes from a French word that means “neck” or “throat”. The Grand Canyon, which is located in the US state of Arizona and was formed by the Colorado River, is the most well-known gorge on the planet. It has a depth of 6,000 feet, a length of 277 miles, and a width of 15 miles at its widest point.
