What are valleys carved by?
Valleys are typically carved by a combination of erosion processes such as rivers, glaciers, or tectonic activity. Rivers erode valleys through the flow of water, gradually wearing away the land over time. Glaciers can carve U-shaped valleys by plowing through the landscape, while tectonic activity, like faulting or folding, can create valleys through the movement of the Earth's crust.
How does a stream widen its valley?
Valleys deepening and widening are caused by several factors. V-shaped valleys are caused by forces such as erosion and rivers. Valleys are not at all formed by rivers. Valleys that are not V-shaped were formerly occupied by glaciers and are characteristically U-shaped, formed by the huge bodies of ice that moved along; they carved the valleys as they passed, carrying away giant boulders and huge amounts of debris.
How are river valleys are formed?

How are valleys made?
