A gorge is a narrow steep-sided valley (or
canyon) that may or may not have a river at
the bottom. A gorge may be formed as a
waterfall retreats upstream, eroding away the
rock at the base of a river valley, or it may
be caused by rejuvenation, when a river
begins to cut downwards into its channel once
again (e.g. in response to a fall in sea
level). Gorges are common in limestone
countrys.
