What is the glacial valley in Yosemite carved out by?
As hinted by your question, the valley in Yosemite is carved out by none other than glaciers! Over time, the movement of these large chunks of ice eroded the rocks into the valley we know of today.
What kind of erosion formed yosemite valley?
Glacial erosion formed Yosemite Valley. Meanwhile, the streams eroded the granite rock to form the waterfalls we know as Yosemite Falls and many others today.
Does a you shaped valley indicate glacial erosion?
A 'U' shaped valley indicates glacial erosion.
What name is given to a coastal valley sculpted by glacial action?
A fjord is a coastal valley that has been carved out by glacial action.
A v shaped valley eroded by a river?
A V-shaped valley eroded by a river is called a canyon.
Which valley are 'U' shaped valley?
'U'-shaped valleys are typically formed by glacial erosion. Examples of such valleys include Yosemite Valley in California, and the Great Lakes region in North America.
A valley eroded by a glacier is usually what shape?
Glacially eroded valleys are normally U-shaped.
What are the types of features that form from glacial erosion?
Glacial Erosion formed Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada
Which is not a feature created by glacial deposits?
hanging valley
How does ice transport eroded materials?
Ice transports material through glacial movement. As the glacier moves down a valley, it picks us sediment and rocks from the valley sides that get trapped in the glacier or fall on top. This is common as the most obvious place for rock to accumulate is the surface of the ice. Glaciers also pluck rocks from the base of the valley through water melting and seeping into cracks. This water freezes again and the pulling force of the glacier rips rock from valley floor. As the ice moves, the process that occurs is sometimes called the sandpaper effect as it grinds away the floor of the valley. This is called abrasion.
