Solution
V-shaped Valley: It resembles the letter V. It occurs in mountainous areas. The lowermost part of the V-shaped valley is shown by the innermost contour line with a very small gap between its two sides, and the lowest value of the contour is assigned to it.
U-Shaped Valley: It is formed by the action of glaciers. It is found in the middle course of a river. These are generally flat from its base.
