What is the shape of a valley that is eroded by a stream and a glacier?
A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
What forms V-shaped channels like the Grand Canyons?
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.
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.
What are the different types of river valley?
v shaped valleys is one of them
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 glaciers modify a valley?
glaciers modify a valley by its erotional features i.e. lateral cutting effect it turns v shaped valley into u shaped valley
18 The most prominent features of a narrow V-shaped valley where the stream profile drops rapidly are?
I would say the waterfall and the rapids are the most prominent features of a narrow V - Shaped valley where the stream profile drops rapidly.
A v shaped valley eroded by a river?
A V-shaped valley eroded by a river is called a canyon.
What can transform v shaped valleys into u shaped valleys?
You can transform a v-shaped valley into a u-shaped valley by a glacier.
A v shaped valley below the ocean is known as a?
A v shaped valley is a continental shelf
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.
An example of a v-shaped valley?
A v-shaped valley is a narrow valley resulting from down cutting by a stream. an example is this
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 are the most prominent features of a narrow V-shaped valley where the stream profile drops rapidly?
rapids and waterfalls
The most prominent features of a narrow V-shaped valley where the stream profile drops rapidly are .?
Rapids and waterfalls
What forms as a glacier moves into a stream valley?
A 'V' shaped valley is formed by streams and water action. A 'U' shaped valley is formed by the gouging out of the valley walls by a glacier. A hanging valley is where side valleys are cut across by the main glacier. Hanging valleys often have waterfalls that fall into the main valley over a cliff.
