उत्तर
In the upper course of a river, the main landforms formed due to erosion are:
-
V-shaped Valleys: These valleys are formed by downward erosion as the river cuts into the land, resulting in a narrow, steep-sided profile resembling the letter “V”.
-
Waterfalls: Formed where there is a significant difference in the rate of erosion between layers of rock, with soft rock eroding faster than hard rock, creating a vertical drop.
These landforms are the result of the river’s erosional activity, which is dominant in the upper course due to the steep gradient and fast flow of water.
