what is gorge

A gorge is a narrow valley with steep, rocky walls located between hills or mountains. The term comes from the French word "gorge". It is usually formed by a river or stream cutting through rock. Gorges can be deep and narrow, with very steep sides, and are often found in mountainous areas. They can also be used to describe a narrow passage through land. The term "gorge" can also be used as a verb, meaning to stuff with food or to swallow, especially greedily.
