Coulees are generally formed by the erosional activity of water, such as from rivers or glaciers. As water flows over the land, it carves out the soft rock or sediment, creating a dry ravine or gulch over time. Coulees are common in areas with a history of significant water flow and erosion.

How do geologists describe the formations of coulees?

Geologists describe coulees as steep-sided, often U-shaped valleys or ravines formed primarily by glacial activity and erosion. They typically occur in areas that experienced past glaciation, where meltwater flows sculpted the landscape, creating these distinct landforms. Coulees can also be shaped by river erosion or the collapse of volcanic materials. Their formation is characterized by the interplay of geological processes such as erosion, sediment deposition, and glacial movement.
