Valleys and mountain ranges form through the process of tectonic plate movement and erosion. When tectonic plates collide, they can create mountains by pushing the Earth's crust upward. Over time, rivers and glaciers can erode these mountains, carving out valleys between them. The movement of these tectonic plates and the ongoing process of erosion lead to the formation and shaping of mountain ranges and valleys.
