Why is valley breezes and mountain breezes are considered convection currents?

Valley breezes and mountain breezes are considered convection currents because they result from the differential heating and cooling of the air in these geographic features. During the day, the sun heats the valley or mountain slope, causing the air to rise and create an upslope breeze (valley breeze). At night, the land cools faster than the air, resulting in the air sinking and flowing down the slope (mountain breeze). This cycle of warm air rising and cool air sinking is characteristic of convection currents.


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.


What produces a U-shaped valley?

A U-shaped valley is typically produced by the erosive forces of a glacier moving through a previously V-shaped valley, which widens and deepens the valley over time due to the ice's ability to erode and transport large quantities of rock and sediment.

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.

Which landform can a moving mountain glacier carve?

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.
