Erosion!
A U-shaped valley is typically formed through glacial erosion, as the moving glacier carves out the valley floor and sides, creating the characteristic U shape. Deposition may also occur within the valley, when the glacier deposits sediment it has eroded from elsewhere.
U-shaped valley formation is a result of erosion, typically by glaciers. As the glacier moves downhill, it erodes the valley floor and sides, creating the distinct U-shape characteristic of glacial valleys.
Mountain streams erode V-shaped valleys through the combined processes of erosion and deposition. As the stream erodes downwards, it cuts through the rock, creating a V-shaped valley. The eroded material is then transported downstream and deposited, contributing to the shaping of the valley. This continuous cycle of erosion and deposition over time results in the characteristic V-shaped valleys found in mountainous regions.
A V-shaped valley is primarily formed by erosion, specifically by the action of a river or stream wearing away rock and sediment over time. The force of flowing water scours the landscape, carving out the valley shape. While some sediment may be deposited along the valley floor, the overall formation is due to erosion.
Cirque erosion results in the formation of bowl-shaped depressions at the head of a valley glacier. Deposition can occur when the glacier melts, depositing sediment and creating a small lake called a tarn in the cirque basin.

Erosion and deposition shapes the Earth's surface.

Drumlins are caused by both erosion and deposition. These drumlins are found in the lowlands of Scotland and are small egg shaped hills.
The Arkansas River was formed by erosion, not deposition.
A U-Shaped Valley is formed by glacial erosion.
