O QUE SIGNIFICA CANYON EM INGLÊS
Canyon
Um desfiladeiro ou um desfiladeiro é um barranco profundo entre pares de escarpas ou penhascos e, na maioria das vezes, é esculpido na paisagem pela atividade erosiva de um rio ao longo de prazos geológicos. Os rios têm uma tendência natural de cortar as superfícies subjacentes, de modo que, eventualmente, usará camadas de rocha distantes para diminuir seu próprio passo retardando suas águas; Dado tempo suficiente, seus fundos irão gradualmente alcançar uma elevação basal, que é a mesma elevação que o corpo de água que acabará por drenar. Esta ação, quando a fonte e a boca do rio estão em elevações de base muito diferentes, formará um cânion, particularmente através de regiões onde camadas de rocha mais macias estão misturadas com camadas mais duras, mais resistentes à intempérie. Um canyon também pode se referir a uma fenda entre dois picos de montanha, como os que estão em distâncias, incluindo as Montanhas Rochosas, os Alpes, os Himalaias ou os Andes. Normalmente, um rio ou corrente e a erosão esgrimem tais divisões entre as montanhas. Exemplos de canyons de montanha são Provo Canyon em Utah ou o Parque Nacional de Yosemite na Sierra Nevada da Califórnia. Canyons dentro das montanhas, ou desfiladeiros que têm uma abertura em um único lado são chamados de canyons de caixa.
definição de canyon no dicionário inglês
A definição de canyon no dicionário é um desfiladeiro ou ravina, especialmente na América do Norte, geralmente formada pelo corte de um rio em uma área seca, onde há chuvas insuficientes para corroer os lados do vale.

The perfect party for me is having six to 12 people for dinner Friday or Saturday - good, fun friends, a lot of artists. I have a beautiful deck that looks over the canyon and Los Angeles on one side, so it's very pretty at night. It's a great opportunity to catch up with friends.
I was accustomed to being in far, far riskier environments. So I thought going into that canyon was a walk in the park - there were no avalanches, it was a beautiful day and I was essentially just walking.
I limited myself to one shout a day. But I didn't like the sound of my voice. It sounded panicked, it sounded scared. And I knew from experience you can't hear more than 50 yards either way down a canyon.
Do not let arguments of expediency persuade you. That is the slow road to oblivion. That is the tortured path to undoing step by step, bit by bit, as the river creates a canyon, the way of life that we love.
