Which of the following is evidence that an area was once covered by a glacier?

Answer
A
loess deposits
B
V-shaped valley
C
U-shaped valley
D
alluvial fan

Glaciers carve broad valleys with steep sides and flat bottoms, creating a U-shaped cross section. Rivers more commonly carve V-shaped valleys, so a U-shaped valley is evidence of past glaciation. The correct choice is “U-shaped valley.”
