Yosemite Valley is a California geologic feature that formed as a result of erosion by glaciers. The glaciers carved out the U-shaped valley, leaving behind steep granite walls and beautiful waterfalls. Other examples include the glacially-carved cirques and hanging valleys in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Erosion and weathering: Glaciers form 'U'-shaped valleys, while rivers form 'V'-shaped valleys.
In cross-section: A 'U' shaped valley is formed from glacial erosion. A 'V' shaped valley is formed by river erosion.

V-shaped valleys are commonly found in mountainous regions where rivers or streams have eroded the land over time. They are formed through the process of downcutting, where water gradually wears away the rock and sediment, creating a distinctive V shape in the landscape.
water cuts V-shaped valleys; glaciers carve out valley's that are U-shaped
V-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the effects of running water. U-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the grinding action of moving glaciers.
Valley Glaciers tend to for U-shaped valleys.
