Talk:Makhtesh

In some of the places it's written as Makhtesh and in some of them it's written as Machtesh. It should be fixed. 17:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation
This article needs pronunciation. In fact, I haven't been able to find a single resource on the pronunciation of Makhtesh online. If you speak Hebrew, your help would be much appreciated. If you don't know how to write pronunciations, make an audio file for us so someone here can transcribe it. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudopeople (talk • contribs) 16:15, 8 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "car", and the "kh" is similar to the ch in Scottish "Loch Ness", the "g" in Dutch "Gauda", or "J" in Spanish "Juan". 46.121.71.138 (talk) 12:37, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Common in desert geomorphology worldwide
These features are certainly common in the deserts/semideserts of North America & North Africa, but this is the only name for them I've come across. --Pete Tillman (talk) 17:44, 8 July 2015 (UTC)


 * The article claims that this geological form is unique to Israel, but what is actually unique about it? How is it different from a box canyon, which is a canyon enclosed from 3 sides and drained on one side by a dried river bed? Is the difference that Israel's version is bigger, with the river being smaller until it is hardly noticed? Doesn't sound like an important enough difference to claim this is unique. 46.121.71.138 (talk) 12:34, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
