Question
Distinguish between Gorge and rift valley.
Solution
Gorge : The rivers in the mountainous region cut deep valleys and flow through these valleys. These are called gorges. The gorges are steep-sloped and deep.
Rift valley : Rift valleys are formed due to faulting. Due to the internal disturbances of the earth, some regions sink and form a valley. This valley is called a rift valley.
