Answer» U-shaped valleys, trough valleys or GLACIAL troughs, are formed by the process of glaciation. They are characteristic of mountain glaciation in particular.[1] They have a characteristic U shape, with steep, straight sides and a flat or rounded bottom (by contrast, valleys carved by rivers tend to be V-shaped in cross-section). Glaciated valleys are formed when a glacier travels across and down a slope, carving the valley by the action of scouring.[2] When the ice recedes or thaws, the valley REMAINS, often littered with small boulders that were transported within the ice, called glacial TILL or glacial ERRATIC. |
