Which shape forms when a glacier widens and deepens a valley?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: U shape
A glacier erodes the valley floor and its sides, changing a narrow river-cut V-shaped valley into a broad U-shaped valley with steep sides and a relatively flat floor. This is a classic result of glacial abrasion and plucking. A V shape is mainly produced by a river, while crescent and fan shapes describe other features; therefore option D is correct.
