Answer:

D. Glaciers

• Valleys are the most predominant landforms on the face of the earth.
• They are found on virtually every continent on planet earth, along sea bottoms, and other planets.
• Valleys usually feature rounded sides that mimic a V or a U shape.
• U-shaped valleys form through glacial erosion.
• Glaciation develops in established v-shaped river valleys where the ice erodes the surrounding rocks to create a "U" shaped valley with a flat bottom and steep sides. 
• U-shaped valleys are found in mountainous regions throughout the world including the Andes, Alps, Caucasus Mountains, Himalaya, Rocky Mountains, New Zealand, and the Scandinavian Mountains.
