Explain the types of landscape features formed by valley-glacier erosion
What will be an ideal response?
Landscapes eroded by valley glaciers are distinctive for the presence of broad-floored, steep-sided, U-shaped valleys that are flanked by sharp-edged ridges and peaks. The long profile of the valley floor is commonly irregular with waterfalls and lakes, tributary valleys commonly join the larger rivers as high waterfalls plunging from hanging valleys. Glacial valleys commonly feature amphitheater-shaped headwater areas, called cirques.
