The term creek is applied to the valleys, mostly narrow, located between the mountainous formations or to the small rivers, which are not deep or long, which are considered to be places to visit. It should be noted that, depending on the country where you are, the meaning of stream may vary; this normally occurs in Latin American countries. As for the separation between two mountains, these are formed for different reasons, such as the deglaciation of the mountains or by the constant effects of the movements of the tectonic plates. Likewise, these usually have some water flowing over them; These streams can be passages through which water reaches much larger bodies, such as rivers, lakes, or seas.
Sometimes these " cracks " are used as a reference point to start climbing mountains, as well as signifying an exit if it is a descent. It is not the most appropriate to go through these areas, but, in specific circumstances, it is necessary. In the same way, streams are small bodies of water and, as mentioned above, they do not have much depth or a very strong current, so their fauna is not so abundant, although it does host some species of small fish. These are considered points of ecological tourist attraction, because they carry out activities such as fishing, as well as the enjoyment of the waters it provides.
However, the term broken not only refers to the different geographical anomalies, it also functioned as a descriptor of an object that is broken or shows signs of it. One of the most common contextualizations occurs with the loss of total money, belonging to an individual or company, labeling everything with "bankrupt."
