U-shaped valley. Look at pictures of the Yosemite Valley.
V-valley refers to a type of valley on a topographic map that has a V-shaped profile, typically formed by erosion from a river or stream. U-valley refers to a valley with a U-shaped profile, typically formed by glacial erosion. V-valleys are more narrow and have steeper sides compared to U-valleys.
Yosemite granite domes are not volcanoes. They are geological formations resulting from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface, followed by uplift and erosion that exposed the underlying granite. There is no volcanic activity associated with Yosemite granite domes.

The valley was most likely formed by a combination of erosion from water, ice, or wind over a long period of time, carving out the landscape and creating the distinct valley shape. Factors such as the type of rock, slope of the land, and climate conditions can also influence the formation of valleys.

Most commonly, valleys are formed by water erosion, which can occur through processes such as river erosion and glacial erosion. Over time, flowing water can carve out valleys by gradually wearing away rocks and sediment, shaping the surrounding landscape.
The water erosion from the river formed the Grand Canyon over a very, very long time.
