A v shaped valley eroded by a river?
A V-shaped valley eroded by a river is called a canyon.
What is a canyon or a V shaped valley carved by?
A V-shaped valley has been formed by a river. A U-shaped valley has been formed by a glacier.
What can transform V-shaped river valleys into U-shaped valleys?
You can transform a v-shaped valley into a u-shaped valley by a glacier.
What can transform 'V'-shaped river valleys into 'U'-shaped valleys?
You can transform a v-shaped valley into a u-shaped valley by a glacier.
What does you shaped valley mean?
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.
What can transfrom a mountain vshaped river valley into a you shaped valleys?
A 'V' shaped valley has been formed by a stream or river. A 'U' shaped valley has been formed by the action of a glacier. Therefore, should a glacier form in the mountains, the ice, pushed downhill by the weight of fresh snow constantly being added high above, will gouge out the 'V' shaped river valley and form the 'U' shaped glacial valley.
What is the shape of a valley left behind by a glacier?
The shape of a valley carved by a glacier is U shaped. A valley carved by a river is V shaped.
Glacial valleys shaped differently from river valleys?
u shaped valley..
What river valley looks like a crescent?
Possibly a V-shaped valley or a U-shaped valley. The U- Shaped valley would have been eroded by a glacier meaning it has a wider and flatter base. But the V-shaped valley would have interlocking spurs, and caves which would turn into corries. So, overall, I would say that the river valley that looks like a crescent would have to be the V-shaped valley.
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.
How do valley glaciers form?
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.
