V-shaped valleys are primarily formed by streams that are first forming. Let me explain how this happens:
When a stream is in its early stages, it flows with considerable force and carries a lot of sediment, such as rocks and soil. As the stream moves downhill, it cuts into the surrounding landscape, gradually eroding the land.
The force of the flowing water and the sediment it carries act like a natural chisel, gradually wearing away the sides of the stream channel. Over time, this persistent erosion creates steep, vertical sides that form a V-shape.
The reason why streams that are first forming tend to create V-shaped valleys is that they possess more erosive power at this stage. As the stream matures and the rate of erosion decreases, the stream may begin to meander and form other types of valleys. However, in the initial stages, the V-shaped valley is a common characteristic.
Streams that move slowly are less likely to create V-shaped valleys because their lower energy levels result in less erosion and sediment transport. Similarly, streams with meanders, which are curved bends in the stream course, produce a more sinuous valley rather than a typical V-shape.
In summary, V-shaped valleys are formed by streams that are in their early stages as they possess high erosive power, erode the landscape, and create steep, vertical sides over time.
