What Is Gorge In Geography?
Many natural forces build up ravines most common is soil erosion due to streams or rivers Streams carve solid layers of rock, demolish or erode them. The sediment from the old rock is then carried down to the river in time, this erosion will form steep walls of the gorge . The overflow of streams or rivers increases the speed and intensity of this erosion, creating deep and wide ravines Soil erosion and geologic elevations often work together to form gullies Parts of streams or rivers can be raised, as well as land, during the geologic elevation process. As rivers or streams flow through the plateau, waterfalls form. Over time, the waterfall erodes the soft rock layers beneath the surface, causing the first bed of the river to collapse and form a ravine. Macocha Gorge in the Jihomoravsk region of the Czech Republic was probably built by the collapse of an underground cave that had been washed away by the Punkva River.
