Explanation:

A valley is a low area between hills or mountains typically with a river running through it. In geology a valley or dale is a depression that is longer than it is wide. The terms U-shaped and V-shaped are descriptive terms of geography to characterize the form of valleys. Most valleys belong to one of these two main types or a mixture of them at least with respect to the cross section of the slopes or hillsides. The exact shape of the valley will depend on the characteristics of the river flowing through it.
