V-shaped.
you shape it into a valley
The shape of a valley carved by a glacier is U shaped. A valley carved by a river is V shaped.
When the glacier is moving down the side of the valley it scrapes of the rocks. The grinding changes the shape of the valley so that it is rounded.

The verb form of "valley" is "valleying," which means to form a valley or to shape like a valley.
A stream valley typically has a V-shape, while a glacial valley has a U-shape. This difference in shape is due to the different erosional processes involved. Stream valleys are eroded mainly by flowing water, while glacial valleys are shaped by the movement of glaciers that scrape and pluck rock and sediment.
A fjord is a valley whose characteristic shape was created by a glacier, so it is a valley after it was glaciated.
U Wide
A glacier valley typically has a U-shape, with steep sides and a flat bottom. This shape is the result of the erosion and scouring action of the glacier as it moves downhill, carving out the landscape over time.
A V-shaped valley can be transformed into a U-shaped valley primarily through glacial erosion. As glaciers advance, they erode the valley walls and floor, widening and deepening the valley while smoothing out its profile. The powerful movement of ice, along with the debris it carries, carves the valley into a U shape, creating distinct features such as striations and polished rock surfaces. This process typically occurs over thousands of years in glaciated regions.
A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
As a glacier moves through a valley, it digs deep into the walls and floor . A once-narrow valley that had a V shape becomes wider. As a glacier moves through, the valley becomes U shape .
