Features of Valley Glaciers:
* U-shaped valleys: Glaciers carve out wide, U-shaped valleys with steep sides and a flat floor. This is a key distinguishing feature from the V-shaped valleys formed by rivers.
* Hanging valleys: Smaller tributary glaciers carve valleys that are higher than the main valley, creating hanging valleys with waterfalls cascading down.
* Cirques: Bowl-shaped depressions at the head of a valley, formed by glacial erosion.
* Aretes: Sharp, jagged ridges that separate cirques.
* Horns: Peaks formed where several cirques meet.
* Lateral moraines: Deposits of rock and debris along the sides of the glacier.
* Medial moraines: Deposits of rock and debris in the middle of the glacier, formed when two lateral moraines merge.
* Terminal moraines: Deposits of rock and debris at the end of the glacier.
The Feature NOT Associated with Valley Glaciers:
* Drumlins: Elongated hills of glacial till, formed by the movement of ice sheets. Drumlins are typically found in areas that were covered by continental ice sheets, not valley glaciers.
