Glaciers cut distinctive U-shaped valleys, with a flat floor and steep sides. The glacier uses the processes of plucking and abrasion to widen, steepen, deepen and smooth ‘V’-shaped river valleys into a ‘U’ shape.

A misfit stream is a river that is either too large or too small to have eroded the valley or cave passage in which it flows.
