valley
dale
  • looduses selgelt piiritletav lineaarne negatiivne pinnavorm
  • usually narrow negative linear landform that is diverse in shape and measures and can be of different origin (glacial valley - trough; river valley etc); dominating erosional processes are reflected in the shape of cross profile
Good to know
  • Org on erineva tekkega (liustikuorg - troog; jõeorg jne) ja erinevate mõõtmetega; oru ristlõike kuju peegeldab valdavat erosiooniprotsessi (põhjaerosioon, küljeerosioon, liustikukünd jne), aga on tihti seotud ka ala geoloogilise ehitusega (kanjonorg, lõhangorg jne).

river valley
  • voolava vee erosiooni tagajärjel kujunenud, varieeruvate mõõtmetega (laius, sügavus), lineaarne piklik negatiivne pinnavorm
  • has a diverse shape and measures, usually a narrow negative linear landform (with a stream running through it). Different shape of the cross profile (V-shape, U-sape, canyon; flood-plain valley) is due to differences in discharge, flow velocity and geological setting.
Good to know
  • Sõltuvalt voolukiirusest ja vooluhulgast ning ala geoloogilisest ehitusest võivad kujuneda erineva ristlõike kujuga orud (sälkorg, kanjonorg, moldorg, lammorg).
