Relating to or resembling a chasm; characterized by deep openings or gaps.
From 'chasma' (Greek χάσμα meaning gaping mouth) combined with the adjective-forming suffix '-al.' This term is used primarily in geological and scientific contexts to describe landscape features with significant depth or divisions.
The word 'chasmal' is rarer than 'chasm-like,' but geologists use it to describe entire regions that are defined by deep rifts and canyons, like parts of the African Rift Valley!
