In cross-section: A 'U' shaped valley is formed from glacial erosion. A 'V' shaped valley is formed by river erosion.
Rill erosion is a type of erosion that begins when a small stream forms during a heavy rain. It involves the formation of tiny channels in the soil caused by the flow of water, which can eventually lead to more severe erosion processes like gully erosion.
Sedimentary rock forms after erosion and deposition occur. Erosion breaks down existing rocks into sediments that are then transported, deposited, and compacted over time to form sedimentary rocks.
A U-shaped valley is typically formed by erosion, specifically by the movement of glaciers over time. Glaciers carve out the valley through abrasion and plucking, removing rock and sediment from the valley walls and floor. This process results in the distinctive U-shape of the valley.
They are forms of wind erosion, where abrasion involves the wearing away of rock surfaces by particles carried in the wind, and deflation refers to the lifting and removal of loose particles by wind action.

Gully Erosion
The type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope is called gully erosion. Gully and rill erosion are the dominant types of water erosion in the world.
