Large valley with a small stream. In most cases the valley was formed when a much larger river flowed through it. The valleys of the Cotswolds, England, were mostly formed by large rivers of meltwater at the end of the last glacial period. They now contain small streams such as the Evenlode and the Windrush, which do not have the volume of water or power to erode them.

The temple of Angkor Wat had five towers but often only three are depicted. Red and blue recall the earlier flags of Cambodia. Effective date: 20 June 1993. >>
