You would weigh slightly more at the bottom of Death Valley compared to the top of Sierra Nevada peak. This is due to the difference in altitude; gravity is slightly stronger at lower elevations. While the difference is minimal, the increased gravitational pull at sea level (Death Valley) versus the reduced pull at high altitudes (Sierra Nevada peak) means you weigh more in Death Valley.

Death Valley is primarily a "V-shaped" valley, formed by the erosion of steep mountain ranges and the action of running water. This shape is characteristic of valleys created by river erosion, where the sides are steep and the valley floor is narrower. However, some areas may exhibit characteristics of "U-shaped" valleys due to glacial activity, but the overall profile of Death Valley aligns more closely with a V-shape.
