Most gorges are formed through water erosion. For example, waterfalls erode the rocks they fall over and the falls move gradually back - leaving a gorge behind them. Some gorges are formed as rift valleys; land stretches and a central area drops down - this has formed the Great Rift Valley in Africa and the Great Glen in Scotland.

How is erosion and deposition alike?
I don't think they are, deposition is the settling down of sediments that had been carried by erosion. Deposition is how deltas and alluvial fans are created. However erosion is the process of moving weathered sediments to a new location. So, a way deposition and erosion are similar is that they are in the same process. Weathering -> Erosion -> Deposition
