Presentation: • Valleys are low lying landforms surrounded by mountains and hills. • Valleys are formed by ice or water erosion • Valleys have very fertile soil and make excellent farmlands • They extend through slopes, hills, and mountains, slopes down to a lake, river or ocean • Valleys are usually v-shaped or u-shaped, depending upon the rate of widening and deepening. The bottom of a valley is called its floor and its sides are known as valley walls or valley slopes • Canyons or gorges are deep narrow valleys between cliffs. They are usually formed by the erosive action of a river. Canyons have very steep sides. They are mostly formed in areas of sedimentary rocks such as limestone rock. • Plains are large areas of low, flat land. They are very fertile. The flat middle part of the United States is called the Great Plains. • Plateau is high like a hill, but flat on top like a plain. Plateaus are flat and uneven land at a higher level than the surrounding plains
