RE: Terminology
If I remember from my old college geology class, the difference between a creek and a river is the distance it flows, although I can't remember what that distance was.
Here is another one...describe a "saddle"

RE: Terminology
This is pretty sad, guys, we're debating stuff like this?
Basically, the only difference in any of the terms above depends either on size, creation, or location. If it's big, it's not a ditch, if it was made by water, it's not a bottom or a hollow, or a valley, and depending on where you're at in the nation, it's going to have different names, but as long as you get the idea that it's a low land form, you're set.
Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
