In cross-section: A 'U' shaped valley is formed from glacial erosion. A 'V' shaped valley is formed by river erosion.
U-shaped valley containing unsorted layers of sediment
No but they are shaped by erosion.
A mountain is a sharpened peak formed by the glacial actions of three cirques on a mountaintop. Since we know that a cirque is a bowl-shaped basin formed by EROSION and a mountain horn is formed by three CIRQUES it becomes clear that mountain horns are formed by erosion.
Drumlins are caused by both erosion and deposition. These drumlins are found in the lowlands of Scotland and are small egg shaped hills.

A crescent-shaped window is called a Lunette.

Three landforms created by wind erosion and deposition are Dunes, Deflatation Hollows, and Desert Pavement.
A 'U' shaped valley is one that has been gouged out by glacial action. A 'V' shaped valley is one that has been caused by river erosion.
