风口，旱峡（改道河流先前侵蚀山脊而成现已干涸的峡谷）
Example sentencesExamples
Dated marine and terrestrial sediments allow estimation of the timing of wind gap formation and rates of lateral propagation of the South Alkyonides Fault.
To the south of each of the basins 1-3, wind gaps are preserved in the footwall of the fault.
Both major and minor faults influence the directions of river channels, and even minor faults can have wind gaps, low points on the scarp where a stream once crossed the fault but has now been diverted because of the changed topography.
The former courses of the south-directed drainage became wind gaps in the immediate footwall of the South Alkyonides Fault.
