Hey Dear !

Extra information :-

(i) Glaciers are comprised of fallen snow that, over numerous years, packs into expansive, thickened ice masses.

(ii) A valley cut by glaciers is typically U-molded and takes after a trough .

Hope , It Helps .

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

Glaciers begin to form when snow remains in the same area year-round, where enough snow accumulates to transform into ice. Each year, new layers of snow bury and compress the previous layers. This compression forces the snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to grains of sugar.
