A combe (/kuːm/; also spelled coombe or coomb and, in place names, comb) can refer either to a steep, narrow valley, or to a small valley or large hollow on the side of a hill; in any case, it is often understood simply to mean a small valley through which a watercourse does not run. The word "combe" derives from Old English cumb, of the same meaning, and is unrelated to the English word "comb". It derives ultimately from the same Brythonic source as the Welsh cwm, which has the same meaning. Today, the word is used mostly in reference to the combes of southernand southwestern England.

  • Una combe es un valle anticlinal formado por la actuación de un agente erosionante (fluvial) en la charnela de un anticlinal (parte más elevada de un pliegue). Es característico de estructuras plegadas, sobre todo en los relieves llamados jurásicos y apalachenses. El origen de las combes puede estar en la coalescencia de varias ruces o en la erosión de las vertientes de una cluse. Cuando una ruz, supera su cuenca de recepción y se une a la de otra ruz, formará un valle anticlinal que dará origen a una combe. * Datos: Q2985026 (es)
  • Una comba è una valle tagliata alla sommità e in asse di una piega geologica anticlinale. Essa è dominata da ciascun lato da versanti scoscesi, le "cornici rocciose". La depressione corrispondente si forma grazie all'erosione dello strato della piega. Come le altre forme tipiche di rilievo giurassico, la comba è un rilievo strutturale frequente nel Giura, ma che si riscontra anche altrove. (it)
  • Une combe est une vallée creusée au sommet et dans l'axe d'un pli anticlinal. Elle est dominée de chaque côté par des versants escarpés, les crêts. La dépression se forme grâce à l'érosion du toit de l'anticlinal qui se produit dès son émersion marine et le début du plissement. « La fracturation des voûtes anticlinales est à l'origine d'une accélération des processus d'érosion d'origine physique (déchaussement, cryoclastie...) et chimique (dissolution) et responsable du creusement des combes ».
