What type of stream valley would form in a mountain area?
A narrow V-shaped valley.
A stream Valley Land form is the most common result of what?
A stream valley is usually 'V' shaped, formed by erosion from a stream. A glacial valley is usually 'U' shaped, formed by the action of a glacier.
What is Long narrow glaciers that form between mountains?
Valley Glaciers!
What are long narrow glaciers form between mountains and are common in the Alps and the Andes.?
valley glaciers

How are streams form?
Streams are formed when water cuts through the ground. This water wears away a path which then turns into a stream.
What causes a ' V ' shaped valley?
The downcutting action of a stream that has a profile suggesting the form of the letter "V".
What is it called when the Earth's crust splits apart and a valley is formed that has steep and narrow sides and a flat floor?
This is called a graben. It may ultimately form a rift valley.
What is a braiding stream?
A braided stream is a stream that has small channel capacity with respect to its sediment supply. Basically, there is not sufficient room within the stream valley to deposit all of the sediment and therefore, small islands of sediment form within the stream giving it a braided appearance. Braided streams generally occur at high gradients.

How does a rift form?
A rift valley forms when the lithospheric stretches, tension stress occurs, causing rock to pull apart, break, and form normal faults.s the hanging wall of a normal fault slide down the footwall, a long, flat, narrow rift valley forms.
What can transfrom a mountain vshaped river valley into a you shaped valleys?
A 'V' shaped valley has been formed by a stream or river. A 'U' shaped valley has been formed by the action of a glacier. Therefore, should a glacier form in the mountains, the ice, pushed downhill by the weight of fresh snow constantly being added high above, will gouge out the 'V' shaped river valley and form the 'U' shaped glacial valley.
