Why would a river in the mountains cut a deeper valley than a river on a plain?

A river in the mountains is moving faster than a river on a plain because it is losing altitude faster. A river on a plain is still moving with gravity, but not at the same steepness. The faster the river is moving, the more sediment it is taking which would form a valley much deeper and faster.

Does a river flow faster in mountains or on a plain?
Well....... It depends. If the river is really big and wide, and there are hardly any plants growing in it, and there are no rocks and the river is on a plain, then it will probably flow really fast. If the river is atiny little stream in the mountains, then it will probably flow slower. It all depends on the river
