Note: Deep, steep-sided land depressions, often having a river at the bottom; common to arid and semi-arid areas. Distinct from "valleys (landforms)," which tend to have a flattish landscape rather than high, precipitous slopes. Distinct from "gorges (landforms)," which tend to be smaller, narrower, and more rocky.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 深且陡峭的谷地，通常谷底是河流; 普遍見於乾旱或半乾旱地帶。與「山谷（地形）」有別，山谷通常具有較為平坦的坡面，而非高而陡峭的山坡。亦有別於「山峽（地形）」，指更窄小且更多岩石的地形 。 |
| Dutch ..... Diepe laagten met steile wanden in de aardkorst, waardoor dikwijls over de bodem een rivier stroomt; veel voorkomend in aride en semi-aride gebieden; te onderscheiden van 'valleien' (aardoppervlakten), die eerder worden gekenmerkt door een vlak landschap dan door hoge, steile hellingen; te onderscheiden van 'kloven' (aardoppervlakten) die doorgaans kleiner, smaller en rotsachtiger zijn. |
| Eastern Huasteca Nahuatl ..... Achi tlalli tlen quipiya atl ahuahcatlan huan itehteno tlaltectoc atl, tlen quipiya ce atlauhtli ica echapan, tlahuel neci ipan canahya áridas huan semiaridas. |
| German ..... Tiefer, steilwandiger Geländeeinschnitt, oftmals mit Flusslauf am Grund; in ariden und semi-ariden Landstrichen verbreitet. Unterscheidet sich von einem "Tal (Geländeform)", das eher flach denn mit derart starkem Gefälle vorkommt, und von einer "Schlucht", da diese in der Regel kleiner, enger und felsiger ist. |
| Spanish ..... Depresión terrestre profunda y de lados escarpados, que tiene por lo general un río en su parte inferior; son comunes en áreas áridas y semiáridas; se distingue de "valle”, el cual tiende a tener un paisaje plano más que alto o de vertientes abruptas; se diferencia de "garganta”, la cual tiende a ser más pequeña, más estrecha y más rocosa. |
