What are characteristics of downcutting streams and a youthful stage of valley evolution?
Rapids and numerous whitewater are characteristics of downcutting and a youthful stage of valley evolution. Other characteristics include rough or irregular channels and V-shaped valleys.
Which type of stream valley is formed primarliy by downcutting?
A narrow v-shaped valley
V-shaped stream valleys result from the downcutting of stream erosion and?
mass wasting on the valley sides
What are broad flat valley floors carved by wandering streams?
The broad flat valley floors that are carved out by wondering streams are called flood plain and the two methods of the streams eroding the rocks to form the flood plain are down cutting and lateral erosion.

mass wasting on the valley sides
How does mass-wasting contribute to the development of stream valleys?
Mass wasting is the downslope movement of soil and weathered rock debris. Streams can deepen valleys by downcutting (erosion), but widening or enlarging of the valley via erosion of the sides or slopes is accomplished largely through mass wasting. Mass wasting delivers the weathered rock material and soil to the streams, which carry it away to some site of deposition.
What kind of streams form V-shaped valley?
Streams that are first forming.
Is valley an adjective?
Valley is a noun. But it is used as an 'adjunct' or adjective to describe things in or about a valley: valley floor, valley streams, valley residents.
