Gorges
A gorge is a narrow, steep-sided valley or ravine with a confined floor, commonly produced by river incision through resistant rock. Geological structure, uplift, glacial inheritance, collapse, and mass wasting may also influence its shape. The distinction from a canyon is not universal, so established naming and feature-specific evidence should take precedence over an imposed size threshold.

Waterfalls
A waterfall is a named point or reach where a river or stream descends abruptly over a vertical face, steep rock step, or sequence of drops. Its form may reflect resistant rock layers, faulting, glacial hanging valleys, lava flows, river incision, or changing channel geometry. The category includes single drops and cascades recognized as one feature but does not imply perennial flow or a particular height.
