Canyon or Gorge

What is Canyon or Gorge...that was on my mind....are they different or same...?

ok well I checked that out before this post so that its clear to all..

A canyon or gorge is a deep valley often carved from the Earth by a river.

The word canyon is Spanish in origin and is generally used in Americas while Gorge is more common in Europe and Oceania.

The famous example of a Canyon is Grand Canyon in Arizona...

There are about 20 Canyons or Gorges around the world.
Taroko Gorge is one of them in Taiwan...
