Valley<\/h1>\n

There is never a majestic mountain without a deep valley, and there is no birth without pain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2014 Daniel Crawford<\/p>\n

A\u00a0valley<\/b>\u00a0is an elongated low area often running between\u00a0hills<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0mountains<\/a>, which will typically contain a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0stream<\/a>\u00a0running from one end to the other. Most valleys are formed by\u00a0erosion<\/a>\u00a0of the land surface by rivers or streams over a very long period. Some valleys are formed through erosion by\u00a0glacial ice<\/a>. These glaciers may remain present in valleys in high mountains or polar areas.<\/p>\n

At lower latitudes and altitudes, these\u00a0glacially formed<\/a>\u00a0valleys may have been created or enlarged during\u00a0ice ages<\/a>\u00a0but now are ice-free and occupied by streams or rivers. In\u00a0desert<\/a>\u00a0areas, valleys may be entirely dry or carry a watercourse only rarely. In\u00a0areas of limestone bedrock<\/a>,\u00a0dry valleys<\/a>\u00a0may also result from drainage now taking place\u00a0underground<\/a>\u00a0rather than at the surface.\u00a0Rift valleys<\/a>\u00a0arise principally from\u00a0earth movements<\/a>, rather than erosion. Many different types of valleys are described by geographers, using terms that may be global in use or else applied only locally.<\/p>\n
