How a v shaped river valley is formed?

Answer 1

In geology, a valley is a depression with predominant extent in one direction. A very deep river valley may be called a canyon or gorge. The terms U-shaped and V-shaped are descriptive terms of geography to characterize the form of valleys. Most valleys belong to one of these two main types or a mixture of them, at least with respect of the cross section of the slopes or hillsides. a v shaped valley is where the valleys faces form in the shape of a letter v. this is ofen caused by a river flowing through the middle and causing erosion.

Answer 2

1. A fast-running river scours out a deep channel (instead of making a wide shallow flood)

2. Soon the side walls of the channel start to crumble down.

3. As the soil and rocks avalanche down into the river, the river valley takes on its V shape.

4. This soil is eventually washed away by the water.

Answer 3

River valley with a V-shaped cross-section. Such valleys are usually found near the source of a river, where the steeper gradient means that there is a great deal of corrasion along the stream bed, and erosion cuts downwards more than it does sideways. However, a V-shaped valley may also be formed in the lower course of a river when its powers of downward erosion become renewed by a fall in sea level, a rise in land level, or the capture of another river.

Answer 4

V-Shaped Valleys are formed by rivers. The image on the right is a River valley with a V-shaped cross-section. Valleys are usually found near the source of a river, where the steeper gradient means that there is a great deal of corrosion (grinding away by rock particles) along the stream bed, and erosion cuts downwards more than it does sideways. However, a V-shaped valley may also be formed in the lower course of a river. V shaped valleys are formed by erosion, pushing two land masses towards each other. It typically takes millions of years to form a v shaped valley.

Answer 5

A V-shaped river valley is formed through the process of erosion where a river cuts down into the land over time. The river flows through the path of least resistance, eroding the landscape vertically to create the V-shape. The downward erosion by the river is usually stronger near the source of the river, creating a steeper V-shape in the upper reaches of the valley.

Answer 6

when rocks, sand, etc, are driven down a cliff by weathering or some other kind of nature thing, it creates kind of a "V"-shape material

Answer 7

V-shaped valleys are formed by rivers.

Answer 8

Erosion
