Bobby,

The hollow created in a mountain valley by glacier erosion is called a trough. I think the must be the name you are looking for.

There is an excellent web site that has just all about all you would want to know about glaciers. The URL is: http://gemini.oscs.montana.edu/~geol445/hyperglac/index.htm
