Narrow cracks or openings in a rock, wall, or other surface.
From Old French 'crevasse,' derived from Latin 'crepare' (to crack). The word traveled through French and entered English in the 14th century to describe geological and architectural features.
Crevices hide entire ecosystems—scientists have found life thriving in impossibly narrow rock crevices miles underground where no light reaches, reminding us that life finds unexpected homes everywhere.
