2320. Canyon, or Canon : A deep valley with high steep slopes, generally with a stream at the bottom. Canyons are characteristic of regions where, owing to aridity or due to great slope, the downward cutting of the stream widely exceeds weathering. The width at the top is generally wide, even several miles while at the bottom the width is nearly that of the stream. Distinguished by its great size and rugged steep slopes. | ||
