PPT VShaped valleys and Interlocking Spurs. PowerPoint Presentation ID3125558
A deep and narrow 'V' shaped valley is also referred to as gorge and may result due to downcutting erosion or because of the recession of a waterfall (the position of the waterfall receding due to erosive action). Most Himalayan rivers pass through deep gorges (at times more than 500 metres deep) before they descend to the plains..
Vshaped valley with interlocking spurs... © Eric Jones Geograph Britain and Ireland
A V-shaped valley is a narrow valley with steeply sloped sides that appear similar to the letter "V" from a cross-section. They are formed by strong streams, which over time have cut down into the rock through a process called downcutting. These valleys form in mountainous and/or highland areas with streams in their "youthful" stage.
U and Vshaped valleys
V-shaped valleys and interlocking spurs are commonly found in a river's upper course. As small streams and rivers tumble down mountainsides, they are forced to flow around 'fingers' of land that jut out into the river valley. It is these 'fingers' of land that are the interlocking spurs.

Valley glaciers carve U-shaped valleys, as opposed to the V-shaped valleys carved by rivers. During periods when Earth's climate cools, glaciers form and begin to flow downslope. Often, they take the easiest path, occupying the low V-shaped valleys once carved by rivers. As glaciers flow through these valleys, they concentrate erosive action.

These are the most common kinds of valley on the globe. Flat-floored valleys are created by the action of flowing streams just like river valleys. However, they are normally older or more pronounced. As the channel stream heading downhill becomes smooth, and starts to streamline the V and U shaped valley, the floor of the valley becomes wider.

V-shaped valleys are a common sight around the world, formed through the erosive action of rivers over millions of years. As rivers flow, they gradually wear away the surrounding land, carving out deep channels with steep, V-shaped sides. They Are a Key Feature of Mountainous Landscapes

A V-valley is formed by erosion from a river or stream over time. It is called a V-valley as the shape of the valley is the same as the letter "V".

A deep, steep-walled, V-shaped valley cut by a river through resistant rock is often called a canyon, from the Spanish word cañón, meaning "tube.". Such valleys often occur in the upper courses of rivers, where the stream has a strong, swift current that digs its valley relatively rapidly. Smaller valleys of similar appearance are called.

A classic Vshaped valley
In polar areas and at high altitudes, valleys may be eroded by glaciers; these typically have a U-shaped profile in cross-section, in contrast to river valleys, which tend to have a V-shaped profile. Other valleys may arise principally through tectonic processes such as rifting.
