- In geology, a trough refers to a linear depression that extends in one direction over a distance. It is less steep than a trench. A trough can be a narrow basin or a geologic rift. There are various oceanic troughs, troughs found under oceans; examples include the rifts along the mid-ocean ridges.

Glacial troughs. Rivers cut V-shaped valleys through the process of erosion. As rivers in their upper course don’t have that much power, they are forced to wind between harder rock leaving ridges...
These are valleys formed by the glacial processes of weathering, erosion and transportation. They have steep sides and flat floors. Unlike V-shaped river valleys, glacial troughs are straight as they have truncated any interlocking spurs which existed prior to glacial advance.
There are two main processes involved with erosion: ‘plucking’ (which involves pieces of rock beneath the glacier being ripped out by the moving ice) and ‘abrasion’ (which involves the rock debris being carried by the ice gouging and scouring the ground beneath and along the sides of the glacier.
