About this document
Formation of V-Shaped Valleys by api-26998541 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) A v-shaped valley forms in the upper course of a river due to turbulent, fast-flowing water that erodes rock and sediment. 2) The steep gradient and large sediment load increase erosion and hydraulic action, causing the river to erode downwards and carve a v-shaped valley. 3) As the river meanders and cuts down, it creates interlocking spurs between hills along the valley walls.
