Question

What type of stream valley forms in mountainous areas?


a wide, flat valley


an oxbow lake valley


a floodplain


a narrow V-shaped valley

Answer 1

In mountainous areas, the type of stream valley that typically forms is **a narrow V-shaped valley**. This is due to the steep gradient of the slopes, which causes the river to erode downward rather than laterally, resulting in a narrow and deep valley.
