Yes, tornadoes can form in valleys under the right conditions. Valleys can channel and intensify wind flow, which can enhance the development of a tornado. The topography of a valley can also create areas of low pressure that contribute to tornado formation.
Mountain breezes typically form during the night. As the sun sets, the air in the valley cools more quickly than the air on the mountain, creating a temperature difference. This temperature difference causes the air to flow from the mountain down into the valley, creating a mountain breeze.
Stalactites and stalagmites join to form columns. These columns are created when a stalactite hanging from the ceiling of a cave and a stalagmite growing from the floor eventually meet and fuse together.
Stalactites are typically found hanging from the ceilings of caves. They form when mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling and leaves behind deposits of minerals, over time creating elongated structures that point downward.
When a stalagmite and a stalactite meet, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when a stalactite hanging from the ceiling and a stalagmite growing up from the floor merge together over time, creating a solid structure in a cave.

An arete is a mountain ridge that is steep sided and narrow along the ridge.
The hanging wall of a normal fault would be expected to form the floor of a valley.
A cirque glacier is a small glacier that occupies a cirque or rests against the headwall of a cirque. A cirque is a deep, horseshoe-shaped hollow with steep walls which was created by erosive activity of glaciers.
Glaciers form U-shaped valleys. They make striations, drumlins, kettlelakes, eratics, moraines and cirque.
A hole in the ground left by a glacier is called a"kettle." Many of these form shallow lakes, as with the kettle lakes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ontario. This could also be called a cirque which is defined as a bowl-shaped, steep-walled mountain basin carved by glaciation, often containing a small, round lake. Cirque lake is a phrase used to describe these kinds of lakes.
Hanging valleys are geological features that form over long periods of time through the process of erosion by glaciers. The specific age of a hanging valley can vary depending on the location and the history of glaciation in the area, but they are typically thousands to millions of years old.
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.
A glacial cirque is formed when a glacier erodes the headwall of a valley through processes like plucking and abrasion. As the glacier moves downhill, it creates a bowl-shaped depression with steep walls. After the glacier retreats, the cirque may fill with water, forming a tarn or glacial lake.
The verb form of "valley" is "valleying," which means to form a valley or to shape like a valley.
The plural form is valleys.
