Canyon

[edit]

Ravine is not the same as canyon. There are two types of gorges. The small ones are gorge. The large ones:Canyon. When I read in the Lake District of ravines on some of these hills, it is only a V-shaped form made bij a brook.86.81.117.215 09:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)also a ravine is made of water[reply]

I agree; the redirect to canyon is inappropriate because the canyon article does not explain what a ravine is and how it differs from a gully, valley, gorge, ditch, etc. See also the Merriam-Webster definition. I have edited the Ravine article accordingly.--Mathew5000 10:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
