8.How does a glaciated mountain valley differ in appearance from a mountain valley that was not glaciated?

A glaciated mountain valley typically has a U-shaped profile with steep, smooth walls and a flat bottom due to the scouring action of the glacier. In contrast, a mountain valley that was not glaciated usually has a V-shaped profile with more rugged and uneven walls, shaped primarily by flowing water and tectonic forces.

8. How does a glaciated mountain valley differ in appearance from a mountain valley that was not glaciated?

A glaciated mountain valley will likely have a U-shaped profile with a broad, flat floor and steep, often striated walls due to the erosion by the glacier. In contrast, a mountain valley that was not glaciated will typically have a V-shaped profile with a narrower, more gently sloping floor and less steep walls shaped primarily by the natural erosional processes of water and weathering.


How does the shape of the glaciated mountain valley differ from the mountain valley?

A glaciated mountain valley typically has a U-shaped profile with a broad, flat bottom and steep, straight sides, formed by the movement of glaciers. In contrast, a mountain valley formed through other natural processes, such as erosion from rivers or tectonic activity, may have a V-shaped profile with a narrower bottom and more irregular slopes.
