How does the shape of the glaciated mountain valley differ from the mountain valley?
Glaciated valleys are U-shaped, non-glaciated valleys are V-shaped.
Is a fiord a valley before it was glaciated?
A fjord is a valley whose characteristic shape was created by a glacier, so it is a valley after it was glaciated.
8.How does a glaciated mountain valley differ in appearance from a mountain valley that was not glaciated?
A glaciated mountain valley typically has a U-shaped profile with steep, smooth walls and a flat bottom due to the scouring action of the glacier. In contrast, a mountain valley that was not glaciated usually has a V-shaped profile with more rugged and uneven walls, shaped primarily by flowing water and tectonic forces.
8. How does a glaciated mountain valley differ in appearance from a mountain valley that was not glaciated?
A glaciated mountain valley will likely have a U-shaped profile with a broad, flat floor and steep, often striated walls due to the erosion by the glacier. In contrast, a mountain valley that was not glaciated will typically have a V-shaped profile with a narrower, more gently sloping floor and less steep walls shaped primarily by the natural erosional processes of water and weathering.
A valley that has been glaciated by a smaller side glacier and is left standing higher than the main U-shaped valley is a .?
It's called a "hanging valley". Many waterfalls occur at hanging valleys.

hanging valley
What features would you look for in a mountainous region to determine if the area had been glaciated by alpine glaciers?
The mountainous regions that have been glaciated, the valleys are no longer narrow. The ice modifies the valley in three ways: the glacier widens, deepens, and straightens the valley.
What is a Glacially carved valley drowned by incursions of the sea called?
A glacial valley filled with sea water is a fjord (pronounced ford)
Where are glaciated regions associated?
At times, all the world's continents have been glaciated. A feature called 'inselberg' is often accepted as evidence of ancient glaciation unless some other explanation is more credible.
A long period of climatic cooling during which continents are glaciated repeatedly is called?
Ice Age
What are the mountains in Switzerland called?
The general mountain range is called the Alps, of which many are high enough to be glaciated.
