Answer:
Explanation:
They both are formed as a result of flowing water
i.e. rivers cutting down into the formations over which they flow. This happens as a result of a difference between the baseline of the river in its early stages and the final body of water it flows into.
The river cuts into the rocks below till the baseline becomes the same.
V-shaped valleys are formed by the erosion of rivers. U-shaped valleys are formed by glaciers.
U shaped valleys are formed becoz of the erosional work of glaciers whereas the v shaped valleys are formed by the work of river.
