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.
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.
It's called a "hanging valley". Many waterfalls occur at hanging valleys.
A mountain valley is commonly referred to simply as a "valley" or specifically as a "mountain valley" due to its location within a mountainous region.
Mountain is to valley as mound is to ditch
No, the Great Rift Valley is not a mountain. It is a series of geographic trenches caused by tectonic activity in East Africa. The valley includes many distinct mountain ranges, but the valley itself is not a mountain.
Glaciated valleys are U-shaped, non-glaciated valleys are V-shaped.
A fjord is a valley whose characteristic shape was created by a glacier, so it is a valley after it was glaciated.
it's called a fjord .
hanging valley
The mountainous regions that have been glaciated, the valleys are no longer narrow. The ice modifies the valley in three ways: the glacier widens, deepens, and straightens the valley.
Not its a valley not a mountain

Depends. On what type of mountain or valley is it.

Tulare is in a mountain valley.
A valley is shorter than a mountain.
