Question

Explain any two erosional features formed by the river in its juvenile stage

Answer 1

Answer:

The valleys carved out by the rivers are signifi­cant erosional landforms. The shape and dimension of fluvially originated valleys change with the advance­ment of the stages of fluvial cycle of erosion. The valley formed in the youthful stage of fluvial cycle of erosion and in the initial stage of valley development is V-shaped having steep valley side slope of convex element.

The valley is very deep and narrow, both the valley sides meet together at the valley floor and thus water always touches the valley sides. Such type of V- shaped valleys are the result of accelerated rate of down-cutting (vertical erosion or valley deepening).
