Mt eddy is a cone. Shape
what are the effect of the archipelago shape of our nation
A mountain range is a series of mountains that have the same general structure and shape. The different mountain ranges in a region make up a mountain system.Mountain Ranges and Mountain systems in a long, connected chain both form a larger unit called a mountain belt. That's how they're alike.Mountain ranges are mountains with the same general shape and structure, and mountain system are just a bunch of different mountain ranges. That's the difference.
becuase they can
I suppose its abit like an F shape... google it on images.
River/stream cut valleys are 'V' shaped while Glacial valleys are 'U' shaped.
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.
A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
a "V"
a "V"
Glacial valleys (also known as glacial troughs) tend to be u-shaped, as opposed to river valleys which are v-shaped.
V-shape
Glacial erosion can carve out deep valleys, create U-shaped valleys, and leave behind moraines and drumlins. The movement of glaciers erodes rock and soil, shaping the land through processes such as abrasion and plucking. As glaciers flow over the landscape, they can significantly alter the topography by creating features like cirques and fjords.
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 valley formed by flowing water, or river valley, is usually V-shaped. The exact shape will depend on the characteristics of the stream flowing through it. A valley carved by glaciers, or glacial valley, is normally U-shaped. The valley becomes visible upon the recession of the glacier that forms it.
A glacier trough is also known as a U-shaped valley and is formed when a glacier passes through it. The glacier erodes the bottom of the valley through abrasion, and the sides of the valley through freeze-thaw weathering. It wears away the softer rock but when it gets to the harder, tougher rock it can't erode it to give the glacial trough its shape. Hope this helps!
v-shaped mountains
The lines bend upward to show that the stream is running the opposite way. (For example, if the lines are pointing north, the stream is running south) **Contour lines bend toward the source when they go over a river/stream.
