V-shaped Valley
a canyon
Valleys carved by glaciers are U-shaped, while those carved by rivers are V-shaped.
The shape of a valley carved by a glacier is U shaped. A valley carved by a river is V shaped.
A V-shaped valley has been formed by a river. A U-shaped valley has been formed by a glacier.

The Grand Canyon was primarily carved by the Colorado River. Over millions of years, the river's erosive power, combined with geological processes, shaped the canyon's intricate layers and formations. This ongoing erosion continues to influence the canyon's landscape today.

In cross-section: A 'U' shaped valley is formed from glacial erosion. A 'V' shaped valley is formed by river erosion.
The Grand Canyon, carved by the Colorado River, is located in the U.S. state of Arizona.
A stream-carved valley typically has a V-shape with a narrower and deeper profile due to the erosive force of flowing water. In contrast, a glacial-carved valley has a U-shape with a wider and shallower profile due to the movement of glaciers scooping out the landscape.
The different types of river valleys include V-shaped valleys, U-shaped valleys, and canyon valleys. V-shaped valleys are typically narrow with steep sides, carved by erosion from a river. U-shaped valleys are wider and have more gradual slopes, formed by glaciers. Canyon valleys are deep and narrow with steep sides, often formed by a combination of tectonic activity and erosion.
