Glacial valleys (also known as glacial troughs) tend to be u-shaped, as opposed to river valleys which are v-shaped.
A fjord is a valley whose characteristic shape was created by a glacier, so it is a valley after it was glaciated.
The glacier is melting faster than it is sliding down the valley.
Yes. Look at any glacial (u-shaped) valley and the terminal moraine at the end where the glacier melts.
Look at the shape of the valleys. If they are V-shaped there were no valley glaciers; if they are U-shaped there were.
The world's largest glacier is the Lambert Glacier. It is 320 miles long and 40 miles wide.
The shape of a valley carved by a glacier is U shaped. A valley carved by a river is V shaped.
A glacier valley typically has a U-shape, with steep sides and a flat bottom. This shape is the result of the erosion and scouring action of the glacier as it moves downhill, carving out the landscape over time.
As a glacier moves through a valley, it digs deep into the walls and floor . A once-narrow valley that had a V shape becomes wider. As a glacier moves through, the valley becomes U shape .
U Wide
A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
When the glacier is moving down the side of the valley it scrapes of the rocks. The grinding changes the shape of the valley so that it is rounded.

It is a valley glacier
The glacier was huge.A v-shaped valley is a valley that was shaped by a glacier.
A moving mountain glacier can carve a U-shaped valley. As the glacier moves downhill, it erodes the sides and bottom of the valley, creating a distinctive U-shaped cross-section. The glacier's immense weight and motion combined with erosion from the ice can shape the landform over time.
The Tasman Glacier is a valley glacier. It is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and flows down the Tasman Valley. Valley glaciers form in mountainous regions and flow along valleys carved by rivers.
