A landscape which has been carved out by MASSIVE sheets of ice in the period of what is called 'the ice age' (when ice covered a huge % of the earths surface) the movement of this ice cuts through the landscape and forms distinctive features and patterns as they go which geographers and geologists recognise as a glaciated landscape.

A glaciated landscape is an area that has been shaped and modified by the movement of glaciers. This includes features such as U-shaped valleys, cirques, moraines, drumlins, and erratics created by the erosion and deposition of materials by glaciers. Glaciated landscapes often have distinct topographic features and evidence of past glaciation.

8.How does a glaciated mountain valley differ in appearance from a mountain valley that was not glaciated?
A glaciated mountain valley typically has a U-shaped profile with steep, smooth walls and a flat bottom due to the scouring action of the glacier. In contrast, a mountain valley that was not glaciated usually has a V-shaped profile with more rugged and uneven walls, shaped primarily by flowing water and tectonic forces.
8. How does a glaciated mountain valley differ in appearance from a mountain valley that was not glaciated?
A glaciated mountain valley will likely have a U-shaped profile with a broad, flat floor and steep, often striated walls due to the erosion by the glacier. In contrast, a mountain valley that was not glaciated will typically have a V-shaped profile with a narrower, more gently sloping floor and less steep walls shaped primarily by the natural erosional processes of water and weathering.

How do glaciated clouds look different from non-glaciated clouds?
The glaciated cloud (i.e. cloud contains ice crystals, not just super cooled liquid) appears filmy, or diffuse, with indistinct cloud edges. Non glaciated occurs more during the storm development stage where towering cumulus full of water droplets look very crisp at the edges as they mushroom out from the updraft.
