Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

V-shaped valleys are formed when a stream downcuts into soft bedrock and soil, creating a V-shaped notch. The steep walls on either side are called valley walls. As the stream erodes downward, the valley walls can become quite steep and even overhanging in some cases. This type of valley is common in areas of rapid erosion, such as mountain streams or areas with high rainfall. The other options (B, C, D) are not as commonly associated with downcutting into soft bedrock and soil.
