Remember this!
Sulcus and crevice both refer to narrow openings or gaps, but they differ in size, location, shape, function, and connotation. Sulcus is typically larger and deeper, often found on the surface of organs or in the earth's surface, and associated with separating different regions or functions. Crevice, on the other hand, is smaller and irregularly shaped, typically found in materials or surfaces, and associated with providing a space for something to fit into or escape from.
