Valleys: Carved by Water andIce
Valleys are e linear depressions that lie between hills or mountains, usually contening a river or stream. Their shape and size vary great ly depending on thee dominant erosional agent. Valleys serve as natural corridors for water, transport, and human settlement.
River Valleys
Most valleys are created by thee persistent flow of rivers. As a river cuts downward, it forms a V- shaped profile with steep side. Over time, meanders andd floodpredbears develop. The Grand Canyon, dicated by the Colorado River, is the most famous example of a V- shaped valley - a staggering 1,600 meters deep in places. The Myle Valley, by contrast, is a broad, flat foredain that haid suphas expitátion for millennia.
Glacial Valleys
