What is the differences between v-valley and u-valley?
V-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the effects of running water. U-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the grinding action of moving glaciers.
How are glaciers landscapes different from landscapes formed by water?
water cuts V-shaped valleys; glaciers carve out valley's that are U-shaped
Do glaciers fill valleys?
It does!
Do glaciers cause valleys or earthquakes?
Only by glaciers and rivers not eartquakes
How did glaciers change the land of the northeast region?
The glaciers had created new landform such as valleys and islands
What is the differences between v-valley and u-valley?
V-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the effects of running water. U-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the grinding action of moving glaciers.
What is one land feature formed by glaciers?
arete-steep sided ridge corries-hollows containing small glaciers ribbon lakes-formed by glacial retreat glacial trough-steep flat bottomed valleys hanging valleys-valleys formed by tributary glaciers truncated spurs-cliff like edges of a valley pyramidal peak -mountain with 3 sides
Are valleys formed your erosion or weathering?
Erosion and weathering: Glaciers form 'U'-shaped valleys, while rivers form 'V'-shaped valleys.
What kinds of valleys are there?
There are several types of valleys, including V-shaped valleys formed by erosion from rivers, U-shaped valleys carved by glaciers, rift valleys formed by tectonic activity, and hanging valleys created when smaller tributary valleys flow into larger main valleys.
How are glaciers landscapes different from landscapes formed by water?
water cuts V-shaped valleys; glaciers carve out valley's that are U-shaped
Was Yosemite valley formed by wind?
No. Wind can cause some erosion, but it cannot form valleys. Yosemite valley was formed by glaciers.
What is a description of armchair shaped valleys?
Armchair-shaped valleys are U-shaped valleys that have a distinctive shape resembling an armchair. They are formed by glaciers eroding the landscape, creating steep side walls and a broad, flat bottom. These valleys are often found in mountainous regions where glaciers once existed.
Are U-shaped valleys destructive or constructive?
U-shaped valleys are considered destructive landforms because they are formed by the erosive action of glaciers. As glaciers move downhill, they carve and widen valleys, creating a U-shaped cross-section with steep sides. This erosional process transforms V-shaped valleys into U-shaped valleys over time.
Do glaciers fill valleys?
It does!
What process forms and valleys?
Glaciers, mostly Glaciers Melting
How is called Armchair shaped valleys?
Armchair-shaped valleys are also known as U-shaped valleys. These valleys are typically wider and have steep, straight sides with a flat bottom. They are formed by glaciers as they move through a landscape, carving out the valley into its distinctive shape.
Can ice cause weathering and erosion?
Ice, as glaciers during the ice-ages, scoured mountains and formed 'U' shaped valleys.
