What is a characteristic of valley type II?

Valley type II is characterized by moderately steep sides that transition into gently sloping areas. This configuration reflects a balance between erosion and sediment deposition processes, where the valley has not been shaped by extreme geological activity, resulting in the more moderate slopes. The steeper sections likely correspond to areas where we see significant erosion, while the gentler slopes indicate regions where sediment has been deposited over time. This combination makes valley type II distinct from valleys that are either steeper and narrower or wider with flatter bases.

In contrast, steep valleys with narrow bases depict a different type of geological activity, generally indicative of more recent erosional processes. Valleys described as wide and flat or those having rounded edges with floodplains suggest different geological formations or processes that have led to broader valley structures, differing significantly from the characteristics of valley type II.
