fissure
Based on a quick search on ajeeb.com, I think the source term should be:
فَلَقَ
فلقان
This means "fissure" -
"a narrow opening or crack of considerable length and depth"
"An extensive crack, break, or fracture in the rocks."
"An extensive crack, break, or fracture in the rocks. It may contain mineral-bearing material."

Just looked it up in Hans Wehr. The word is most likely meant to be:
فَلْقٌ فَلْقان
\"Crack, split, crevice, fissure, cleft, rift.\" I would go with fissure or rift.

Fuad Yahya
: From the last added note, I would go with "crack" based on the language used in the geology of earthquakes, as in http://www.platetectonics.com/article.asp?a=95&c=4

gorge
جاء في المنجد
الفالق هو الشق في الجبل
There is no way to tell with certainty from the little fragment you posted that this is what your passage is talking about, but a gorge is defined as "a deep narrow passage with steep rocky sides" (American Heritage Dictionary). See, for example, what is on the Internet on the city of Ithaca, New York (where the motto is "Ithaca is gorges").

If the writer is talking about a geological feature, it is possible, but not certain without clear context, that the writer meant \"fault.\" A fault is defined as \"a fracture in the continuity of a rock formation caused by a shifting or dislodging of the earth\'s crust, in which adjacent surfaces are displaced relative to one another and parallel to the plane of fracture -- also called shift\" (American Heritage Dictionary).
