Gorges are formed by tectonic plate movement or by erosion caused by flowing water-rivers.
Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, England, was formed during the last Ice Age, around 1.2 million years ago, when water eroded the limestone rock to create the stunning gorge we see today.
The Tallulah Falls Gorge was formed many years ago through natural erosion. In 1882, a railway was built in the area to allow tourists to visit.
No, the Royal Gorge in Colorado is not a geology rift. It is a deep canyon formed by the Arkansas River cutting through the uplifted granite of the region. The gorge is a result of erosion rather than tectonic forces creating a rift.
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.
The deepest gorge in the world is Colca Canyon. Actually the deepest gorge in the world is located in the Dasu Patan region of Kohistan District in Pakistan.It is 6500 meter deep and located in the Himalayas.
The Pine Creek Gorge was formed by a river.
Katherine Gorge was formed by erosion from the Katherine River.
It was formed by sediment
estuary
water erosion

how every people formed it a long time ago
A gorge forms when the process of waterfall formation (when hard rock collapses into the plunge pool as there is no rock underneath to support it) then repeats itself. The waterfall retreats upstream, eventually causing a gorge to be formed. H.H.K. :)(:
The Tallulah Falls Gorge was formed many years ago through natural erosion. In 1882, a railway was built in the area to allow tourists to visit.
Tallulah Gorge is formed by constructive forces.
Ravine: A deep, narrow gorge with steep sides formed by erosion from a stream or river.
Talus slopes are broken rocks formed by gravity and the convergent boundary. Ex: Devils Lake Gorge.
