Which valley are 'U' shaped valley?
'U'-shaped valleys are typically formed by glacial erosion. Examples of such valleys include Yosemite Valley in California, and the Great Lakes region in North America.
Which is a glacier feature caused by erosion?
In cross-section: A 'U' shaped valley is formed from glacial erosion. A 'V' shaped valley is formed by river erosion.
Is a U-shaped valley constructive or destructive?
A U-shaped valley is considered a glacial landform resulting from the erosive action of a glacier. It is classified as a destructive force as the glacier carves and deepens the valley by plucking, abrasion, and glacial erosion.
A stream Valley Land form is the most common result of what?
A stream valley is usually 'V' shaped, formed by erosion from a stream. A glacial valley is usually 'U' shaped, formed by the action of a glacier.
Which agents of erosion cause u-shaped valleys?
A U-shaped valley, also known as a glacial trough, is a large valley with steep sides, and with a wide, flat valley floor. It is formed, as the alternative name suggests, by glacial activity in the area (i.e. it was formed by a glacier).
What are the types of features that form from glacial erosion?
Glacial Erosion formed Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada
Are glaciers agents of erosion?
Yes. Look at any glacial (u-shaped) valley and the terminal moraine at the end where the glacier melts.
Are glaciers an agent of erosion?
Yes. Look at any glacial (u-shaped) valley and the terminal moraine at the end where the glacier melts.
An erosion by the movement of a n can produce a you-shaped valley.?
an erosion by the movement of an can produce a you- shaped valley
Is you shaped valley deposition or erosion?
Erosion!
Is a you shaped valley deposition or erosion?
Erosion!
What does you shaped valley mean?
A U-shaped valley is a geological formation formed by the erosive action of a glacier. Ice moving downhill carves out a broad, U-shaped valley with steep sides and a flat bottom. These valleys are characteristic of areas that have been shaped by glacier activity.
