A slot canyon is a long, narrow channel or drainageway with sheer rock walls that are typically eroded into either sandstone or other sedimentary rock. A slot canyon has depth-to-width ratios that typically exceed 10:1 over most of its length and can approach 100:1. The term is especially used in the semiarid southwestern United States and particularly the Colorado Plateau. Slot canyons are subject to flash flooding and commonly contain unique ecological communities that are distinct from the adjacent, drier uplands. Some slot canyons can measure less than 1 metre (3 ft) across at the top but drop more than 30 metres (100 ft) to the floor of the canyon.

  • Un canyon en fente (slot canyon en anglais) est un canyon étroit formée du ruissellement de l'eau à travers la roche. Un canyon en fente est beaucoup plus profond que large. Certains d'entre eux font moins d'un mètre de large pour une profondeur de 30 mètres. La plupart des canyons en fente se forment dans des structures de grès ou de calcaire, bien qu'on en observe certains formés dans le granite et le basalte. (fr)
  • 狹縫型峽谷(俗稱一線天),是一種狹窄的峽谷,由流水侵蝕岩石而形成。其特點在於其峽谷形狀為明顯的深與窄。有些狹縫型峽谷寬度不足1公尺,而深度可超過30米(98英尺)。 狹縫型峽谷大多自砂岩與石灰岩形成,而花崗岩及玄武岩也是有可能形成狹縫型峽谷。即使在砂岩與石灰岩地區,也只有極少數的溪流擁有形成狹縫型峽谷的條件。因為必須配合當地岩石特性以及區域降雨的條件。 (zh)
  • Slot Canyon ist die amerikanische Bezeichnung für eine enge, durch fließendes Wasser geschaffene Schlucht. Slot Canyons sind ein typisches Landschaftsmerkmal des Colorado-Plateaus im Südwesten der USA. Leicht erodierbare Sedimentschichten aus Sandstein sowie das trockene Klima begünstigen die Bildung der Canyons. Charakteristisch sind Sturzfluten (engl.: flash floods), nach meist kurzen Sommergewittern fließen große Wassermengen in kürzester Zeit durch die sonst trockene Schlucht. (de)
  • Un cañón de ranura (del inglés: slot canyon); en francés, canyon en fente es un cañón estrecho, significativamente más profundo que ancho, que se forma por el desgaste del agua que corre a través de la roca. Algunos cañones de ranura pueden medir menos de 1 metro de anchura en la parte superior, pero caer más de 30 metros hasta el suelo del cañón. (es)

  • Uno slot canyon è un canale lungo, stretto, profondo e tortuoso o di drenaggio con pareti rocciose a picco che sono tipicamente erose, in arenaria o in altre rocce sedimentarie. Uno slot canyon ha rapporti profondità-larghezza che in genere superano 10:1 sulla maggior parte della sua lunghezza e possono avvicinarsi a 100:1. Il termine è particolarmente usato negli Stati Uniti occidentali semiaridi, compresa la regione dell'altopiano del Colorado. Gli slot canyon sono soggetti a inondazioni improvvise e contengono comunemente comunità ecologiche uniche che si distinguono dagli altipiani adiacenti e più asciutti. Alcuni slot canyon possono misurare meno di 1 metro (3 piedi) di diametro in cima, ma cadere più di 30 metri (100 piedi) al fondo del canyon. (it)
