How does the shape of a stream valley compare to the shape of a glacial valley?

A stream valley typically has a V-shape, while a glacial valley has a U-shape. This difference in shape is due to the different erosional processes involved. Stream valleys are eroded mainly by flowing water, while glacial valleys are shaped by the movement of glaciers that scrape and pluck rock and sediment.


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.
