Are U-shaped valleys destructive or constructive?

U-shaped valleys are considered destructive landforms because they are formed by the erosive action of glaciers. As glaciers move downhill, they carve and widen valleys, creating a U-shaped cross-section with steep sides. This erosional process transforms V-shaped valleys into U-shaped valleys over time.
