Its to do with how it is able to form the glacier. There is a cylce where the ice can only cycle round and round if freeze thaw weathering is taking place, meaning that a glacier can erode its valley. The process of freeze thaw weathering erodes the valley.

How are glacial troughs formed?

A glacier trough is also known as a U-shaped valley and is formed when a glacier passes through it. The glacier erodes the bottom of the valley through abrasion, and the sides of the valley through freeze-thaw weathering. It wears away the softer rock but when it gets to the harder, tougher rock it can't erode it to give the glacial trough its shape. Hope this helps!
