How do glaciers form u-shaped valleys?
A U-shaped valley begins as a V-shaped river valley. If the temperature is low enough, a glacier (river of ice) forms inside the valley. As the glacier slowly moves, it scours the valley floor when the temperature rises and the glaciers melts away, a U-shaped valley is left behind.
Continental Ice Shelves are forms of?
glaciers
What type of glacier forms in a mountain area?
alpine glaciers
What is a confined glacier?
A confined glacier is a glacier that is confined by topography. For example, a glacier that forms on a mountain. Continental glaciers, by contrast, are not affected. The glaciers on Antarctica and Greenland are continental glaciers. The glaciers at Glacier Bay National Park, or on a mountain are confined glaciers.

What process forms and valleys?
Glaciers, mostly Glaciers Melting
What agent of erosion most likely produced this valley's shape?
When the glacier is moving down the side of the valley it scrapes of the rocks. The grinding changes the shape of the valley so that it is rounded.
Continental Ice Shelves are forms of?
glaciers
What forms Norway's f Jords?
Glaciers.
What forms cirques and U-shaped valleys?
The movement of glaciers through the process of abrasion.The movement of glaciers.
Was this a mountainous area prior to glaciation?
well it depends on how it forms
