Question

What are the differences between river valley and glacial valley

Answer 1

Explanation:

Larger glaciers carve larger, wider valleysRiver valleys are formed due to the kinetic energy of rivers falling from a steep height. ... River valleys are V- shaped. They are deeperTime of formationMost of the glacial valleys seen today were formed during ice age.

Answer 2

Answer:

Glacial and River valleys can be differentiated based on the following parameters:

Formation

• Glacial valleys are formed due to the movement of glaciers and the abrasion of the rock particles they carry. The formation of glacial valleys does not depend on the gradient but only the volume of the glacier. Larger glaciers carve larger, wider valleys
• River valleys are formed due to the kinetic energy of rivers falling from a steep height. The formation of the valley is dependent on the gradient as rivers carry less water during their youthful stages

Shape

• of the Glacial valleys are usually U-shaped. They are wide.
• River valleys are V- shaped. They are deeper.

Time of formation

• Most of the glacial valleys seen today were formed during ice age (Pleistocene era). Glacial valleys can also be seen near mountain ranges where the glaciers have receded
• River valleys are recent formations

Examples

• Glacial valleys : Yosemite (USA, Image below), The Frades Valley (Brazil), Glacier National Park, Montana (USA), Calchaquí Valleys (Argentina)
• River Valleys : Indus Valley (Pakistan) , Kashmir Valley (India) , Doon Valley (India)
