The Chasm is a major geographical feature of the Arelon region of the planet Sel.

The chasm was the cause of the Reod. The chasm came about by unnatural events.[1]

Because the chasm changed the landscape of Arelon significantly, it also changed how Aons needed to be drawn.

The chasm is unlikely to have been caused by Odium's visit to Sel. The Reod occurred about ten years before Elantris, while Odium's visit came far earlier than that (at least several centuries, as seons did not exist before Odium appeared).[2]
