A glacier will gradually form a U-shaped valley, by grinding away the rock, using debris that falls onto the surface - and particularly if it falls into the schrunds at the sides.
It is impressive that most of the volume of such a valley has been ground away as rock flour - an enormous quantity.

How are the 2 types of glaciers similar an how there different?
Valley glaciers form on high mountain valleys and are long and narrow. Continental glaciers covers much of a continent or large island.
Do glaciers fill valleys?

Why do glaciers form U-shaped valleys rather than V-shaped valleys?
because the river beside it flows and it makes a u shape
How do alpine glaciers form?
Alpine glaciers form when snow piles up after a while they begin to build up eventually making an alpine glacier.
What land-form created by glaciers has a bowl like shape?

What glacier form U shape valleys?
All types of glaciers
What can continental glaciers form?

What causes U-shaped valleys to form?
Glaciers.
Are valleys formed your erosion or weathering?
Erosion and weathering: Glaciers form 'U'-shaped valleys, while rivers form 'V'-shaped valleys.
How are glaciers different from alpine glaciers?
They difference between them is where there flow. Continental glaciers are enormous ice sheets, and are found in Greenland and Antarctica. Alpine glaciers form in mountain valleys.
U shaped and hanging valleys are both types of landforms created by what type of physical feature?
glaciers
What cuts deeper rivers or glaciers?
Rivers as they errode downwards to form v-shaped valleys.
Do glaciers fill valleys?
It does!
What process forms and valleys?
Glaciers, mostly Glaciers Melting
What erosional features do you see in a valley glaciers?
Glaciers form U-shaped valleys. They make striations, drumlins, kettlelakes, eratics, moraines and cirque.
