   What is a glacial trough?

   • 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. © 2002-2024 Tutor2u Limited.

   What is a trough in geology?

   • In geology, a trough is a linear structural depression that extends laterally over a distance. Although it is less steep than a trench, a trough can be a narrow basin or a geologic rift. These features often form at the rim of tectonic plates. There are various oceanic troughs on the ocean floors.

   What is the difference between a ridge and a glacial trough?

   • Where two corries occur back to back and headward recession (cutting back) takes place over time forming a narrow, steep, rocky ridge between the two corries. Glacial troughs (or U-shaped valleys) These are valleys formed by the glacial processes of weathering, erosion and transportation. They have steep sides and flat floors.
