QUÉ SIGNIFICA CANYON EN INGLÉS

Cañón

Canyon

Un cañón o una garganta es un barranco profundo entre los pares de escarpes o de acantilados y se esculpe a menudo del paisaje por la actividad erosiva de un río sobre escalas de tiempo geológicas. Los ríos tienen una tendencia natural a cortar a través de las superficies subyacentes por lo que eventualmente se desgastan las capas de roca para disminuir su propio paso que retarda sus aguas; Dado el tiempo suficiente, sus fondos llegarán gradualmente a una elevación de la línea de base, que es la misma elevación que el cuerpo de agua que finalmente se drenará. Esta acción, cuando la fuente del río y la boca se encuentran en elevaciones de base muy diferentes, formará un cañón, particularmente a través de regiones donde las capas de roca más suaves se entremezclan con capas más duras más resistentes a la intemperie. Un cañón puede también referir a una grieta entre dos cumbres de la montaña, tales como ésos en las gamas incluyendo las montañas rocosas, los alpes, el Himalaya o los Andes. Por lo general, un río o arroyo y la erosión tallar las divisiones entre las montañas. Ejemplos de cañones de tipo montaña son el Cañón de Provo en Utah o el Parque Nacional de Yosemite en la Sierra Nevada de California. Los cañones dentro de las montañas, o las gargantas que tienen una abertura en solamente un lado se llaman cañones de la caja.

A canyon or gorge is a deep ravine between pairs of escarpments or cliffs and is most often carved from the landscape by the erosive activity of a river over geologic timescales. Rivers have a natural tendency to cut through underlying surfaces so will eventually wear away rock layers to lessen their own pitch slowing their waters; given enough time, their bottoms will gradually reach a baseline elevation—which is the same elevation as the body of water it will eventually drain into. This action, when the river source and mouth are at much different base elevations will form a canyon, particularly through regions where softer rock layers are intermingled with harder layers more resistant to weathering. A canyon may also refer to a rift between two mountain peaks, such as those in ranges including the Rocky Mountains, the Alps, the Himalayas or the Andes. Usually a river or stream and erosion carve out such splits between mountains. Examples of mountain-type canyons are Provo Canyon in Utah or Yosemite National Park in California's Sierra Nevada. Canyons within mountains, or gorges that have an opening on only one side are called box canyons.
