What is a valley?

Posted at: 2015-05-24 
In geology, a valley or dale is a depression that is longer than it is wide. The terms U-shaped and V-shaped are descriptive terms of geography to characterize the form of valleys. Most valleys belong to one of these two main types or a mixture of them, (at least) with respect of the cross section of the slopes or hillsides.

valley is a place where the area is surrounding by the mountain.

A valley has a "head" where it begins in the mountains or hills, "sides" where it rises up on either side, a "floor" which is where the valley is most flat. Some valleys have an "entrance" where the valley opening can be seen between two hills or mountains or cliffs.

Could it perhaps be a reference to Pslam 23:

The phrase about "the valley of the shadow of death" is often taken as an allusion to the eternal life given by Jesus

"I was raised in the valley with shadows and death. I got out alive with scars I can't forget."
