The broad flat valley floors that are carved out by wondering streams are called flood plain and the two methods of the streams eroding the rocks to form the flood plain are down cutting and lateral erosion.
Such valleys are typically formed by sediments carried and deposited by meandering streams over time. The slow and lateral movement of meandering streams creates a wide, flat valley floor as they continuously deposit sediment along their banks. These types of valleys can often be found in regions with low gradients and high sediment loads.
In a youthful stage of valley evolution, downcutting streams erode the land vertically, carving deeper channels and creating steep-walled valleys. These streams have high energy and are actively eroding the landscape, leading to the formation of V-shaped valleys characteristic of early stages of valley development.
A deep valley carved by a river is called a canyon. Canyons are typically characterized by steep sides and are formed over long periods of time by the erosive action of flowing water.
The streams that form V-shaped valleys are typically fast-flowing streams with significant erosive power, such as those in mountainous or hilly regions. These streams erode downwards over time, carving out a V-shaped valley due to the steep gradient and high energy of the flowing water.
A glacial valley filled with sea water is a fjord (pronounced ford)

The shape of a valley carved by a glacier is U shaped. A valley carved by a river is V shaped.
· Alluvial fans develop where streams issue from canyons onto adjacent valley floors and deposit sediments derived through the erosion of rocks upstream.

Streams that are first forming.
Valleys carved by glaciers are U-shaped, while those carved by rivers are V-shaped.
Valley is a noun. But it is used as an 'adjunct' or adjective to describe things in or about a valley: valley floor, valley streams, valley residents.
As hinted by your question, the valley in Yosemite is carved out by none other than glaciers! Over time, the movement of these large chunks of ice eroded the rocks into the valley we know of today.
it has 25 floors.
Meltwater streams formed by melting ice when a valley glacier stops advancing are called proglacial streams. These streams are commonly found at the terminus of a glacier where melting ice produces large volumes of water that flow down the valley.
a "V"
Yes. The Indus Valley is carved and watered by the Indus River.
