Compare the features caused by stream erosion wind erosion and glacial erosion?
I only know that there are distinctly shaped valleys formed by varying types of erosion. Streams and rivers have a lot of gravitational potential energy upstream (as they often have sources in mountains or hills) and so tend to erode vertically in their upper course creating steeply sided v-shaped valleys with very little/no floodplain. As you follow the river downstream the erosional direction changes to become more latteral (horizontal) resulting in valleys with less steep sides and wider floodplains. Glacial movement, however, leads to the creation of even steeper sided u-shaped valleys which can be very wide at the bottom. These are not to be confused with gorges which are created as waterfalls on rivers retreat upstream with consequetive episodes of undercutting and collapse, which tend to be even steeper sided and normally are rather narrow, however this depends on the size and type of the original waterfall as well as the discharge of the river. Wind does not tend to form valleys but rather sculpts those which already exist, by the process of differential erosion, through which different rock types erode at different rates leading to the formation of the beautifully shaped rocks we find sticking out of the desert as well as yardangs and zeugen.

What is some landforms for the central plains?
mountains,caves,canons etc.There are hills, cliffs, forests, flat lands, low mountains, sand dunes and wide river valleys.
What are the features that characterize wide streams and valleys?
Wide streams and valleys typically have a large water flow capacity, which can accommodate high volumes of water. They often have gently sloping sides and bottoms, creating a broad and open landscape. Wide streams and valleys can also support a diverse range of plant and animal species due to the availability of space and resources.
What are the characteristics of meandering streams and valleys?
Meandering streams have a sinuous, sweeping pattern with curves and bends, while meandering valleys are wide and gently sloping. They often have a well-developed floodplain and abundant vegetation along the banks. Meandering streams and valleys typically form in areas with soft, easily eroded sediment.
Where do valleys occur?
Valleys occur between mountains and hills, typically formed by water erosion from rivers and streams over time. They are geographical low-lying areas that are usually longer than they are wide, with varying depths and widths.
What are the decomposes in the Andes mountains of Chile?
Steep slopes, deep canyons, and wide valleys characterize the Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot. This region and its landscapes have led to the evolution of an amazing diversity of species and habitats
What is an fact about valleys?
they are wide
What are the physical features of the western cordillera?
There is range after range of mountains separated by plateaus and valleys. The mountains and valleys run in a north-south direction. Some mountains can be as large as 700 kilometers wide.
Are jet streams hundreds of kilometers wide?
no there not
What are facts about valleys?
facts about valleys are that it has low land only 1 or 2 sides with mountains and it has a plethora of plants and grass . and some other thing IDK
What is least likely to be found in wide valleys?
Glaciers are least likely to be found in wide valleys due to the flatter terrain and lack of steep slopes needed for glacier formation and movement.
Are valleys habitable or uninhabitable?
It depends on whether they are narrow and rocky gorges or wide and fertile plains. Most valleys are shaped by flowing water and have various animal life.
