Which major mountains are found In the valley &amp; ridge region?
lisabon 2012 [21]
Is a U-valley formed by movement in glaciers. A glacier or U-shaped valley has a wide flat floor and steep sides.
Glaciers are a thick mass of moving ice. V-shaped valleys become U-shaped valleys as glaciers move through them. First it is a typical river valley and then water flows into the cracks, which over time cuts a deeper V-shape. Glaciers then fill the valley, widen it and stretch the canal, which when the glacier melts leaves a U-shaped valley. Gravity causes the glacier to slide down. Then it pulls rocks, sand and gravel, ie sediment

. These wear down into the rock and form a U-valley. The differences between a V-valley and a U-valley are that a glacier works downwards and outwards while the V-valley then works its way down the glacier. and deepen the valley and change it to a U-shape.

u-shaped valley was formed by ice formation. U-shaped valleys are mostly found near the rocky mountain.
Glaciers pass through jagged mountain valleys making them smooth and u-shaped after the ice retreats.
The ice scrapes the sides and bottom

valleys are low land areas between hills or mountains. they usually have rivers that run through the middle

When a glacier pushes itself forward in a mountain landscape, the ice grinds not only on the surface but also on the sides of the valley and in this way characteristic U-valleys are formed

the valley is formed by erosion, or gradual wear of elements, such as water or wind. valleys can also be formed by movements in the earth's crust or gracias. the graciers drop depressions into the earth's surface
valleys are helpful to people because they are usually close to the river. the flowing stream provides access to food and potable water. they also give people exotic plants and animals to eat or harvest



In what type of landscape can you most often find this landform?
You can find U-dal in mountain areas everywhere in, for example, Sweden, Himalayas

5 The map shows white areas that used to be covered by glaciers. Arrows show directions that glaciers moved. Based on the arrows
Temka [501]

The correct answer is C. Point C

Explanation

The image is a map that shows Antarctica and the areas of the American continent, Africa, and Oceania that was attached to it during the time of Pangea. It also shows a white zone of influence of the glacial in the other continents and arrows that inform where they moved. According to the movement expressed by these arrows, the point that was probably closest to the South Pole (Antarctica) at the time of Pangea is point C because on the map it can be seen that it has already moved and is still attached to the South Pole. Furthermore, points A, B, and D. are much further from the south pole than the others.
