furrow
Field's linear depression
A furrow is a long, narrow trench cut into the earth, especially one made by a plow for planting seeds.
The word extends to any groove or channel resembling this: the furrows of a plowed field, the furrows in tree bark.
Furrows on the face are wrinkles, particularly the deep lines on a furrowed brow—which suggests concentration, worry, or age.
To furrow is to make such grooves: She furrowed her brow in thought.
