A canyon is a deep, narrow valley with steep sides, often carved by a river or other erosive forces. Canyons can be found on land or underwater, and are typically much longer and deeper than gorges or ravines. They can be formed by various geological processes such as erosion, weathering, and tectonic activity. Some well-known examples of canyons include the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Bryce Canyon in Utah, and the Blue Mountains in New South Wales Australia.
