What type of valley is a gorge?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Narrow and deep valley
A gorge is a narrow, deep valley with very steep sides, usually produced by prolonged vertical erosion by a river, especially where the river cuts resistant rock or follows a steep gradient. Option C is therefore correct. A wide and flat valley usually reflects stronger lateral erosion or deposition, whereas a sandy valley and a coastal strip are not the defining forms of a gorge.
