What is a V-shaped valley?
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”.
What are interlocking spurs?
Ridges
formed by
erosion
in a river valley.
Firstly,
rocks
which have fallen into the
river
assist the process of
abrasion
and leads to further
erosion.
Lastly, the river
transports
the rocks
downstream
and the channel
becomes
wider and
deeper
creating a
V-shaped
valley
between
interlocking
spurs.
