When walking on a rocky coastline, sometimes you find yourself impeded by straight, narrow, deep channels 1-2 metres across, that occur as a result of softer rock being eroded much faster than the surrounding rock. If you were to fall into one of these channels you might find it difficult to get out ahead of an oncoming tide! I don't think the word "channel" is the proper word, and I would like to know the correct definition for it and a web-link if possible.
